NSLOOKUP Failing

[Gongalong]

Nothing in DNS this morning from the student PCs, so I will try disabling the firewalls next.

Any helpful messages in erorr logs? On the client or the server? Forcing it with ipconfig/registerdns should give you some entries if there is a failure.

 

I would not have expected you to need to disable the firewalls.

I'm about to leave now, but it doesn't appear that turning off the firewalls has helped. Tomorrow I'll uninstall Ranger from the test client we have and see if I can diagnose a bit more e.g. at least be able to see event viewer.

Problem at least partly resolved it seems. The DHCP server didn't have any credentials to populate DNS (under the IPv4 properties go to the Advanced page, and select Credentials). Since changing this a handful of addresses appeared within a couple of minutes. I'll check again tomorrow (the DHCP lease is set to 1 day).
