Vista cannot access subdomain

[grifter]

I have a handful of vista machines at work and none of them can access one of our subdomains. I've already unchecked IP6 and google isnt turning up anything useful.
I'm hoping someone here may know something.

What does nslookup subdomain.url.com reveal from the Vista machine?

Have you tried http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/ ?

 

[grifter]

no response from a ping
nslookup of the subdomain comes back as an alias
fiddler gives me this: Fiddler: DNS Lookup for test.server failed.

Are the vista systems using the same DNS server?

ipconfig /all


also, if they are and this problem just started recently, have you tried ipconfig /flushdns ?

 

[grifter]

same dns server
this has been a known problem since we first installed vista in our unit but now its back because one of our vista users needs this taken care of or she will have to have xp reinstalled

a workaround you could try is to just manually enter them into the hosts file until you get the nameservers fix'd.
