Re: Blaster Side Affect?

["henry j. mason" <hmason () dbsinet com>]

        about 1.5 weeks before the worm appeared, my windows 2000
        machine stopped resolving DNS names. a reboot would solve
        the problem, then after an hour it would stop working again.
        networking was fine otherwise - resolving hosts via the
        hosts file worked and you could reach machines by numeric
        ip address. restarting the DNS client service did nothing.
        in fact, i never found a solution, and ended up installing
        windows on new hardware and moving my files over.

        what a waste of time.

        i have no idea if this is related to the worm or just a bug
        in windows (god forbid). but since your symptoms appear to
        be similar i thought i would mention it.

        if this is your problem, and you find a fix, i'd really like
        to know about it...

        regards,
        henry
