I also believe this to be a DNS issue. Do you see any host records in the zone for your clients? AD intergrated? when you do an nslookup from the command line what does it say?


on a side no on the xp machines make sure that ICF is turned off.

Mostly wrong. It doesn't matter where you split the line. You still will lose some singal strength. It will mess up your rr service if the signal drops to low your modem won't lock up. Then the can just put an amp on the line.

I think you could accoplish this by etting up an NT 4.0 server as a router. It would need multiple NICs to connect to the LAN, WAN, and the cable connection. Gonna take some reaseach and a lot of trial an error, but i belive it can be done.

I have never heard of any damage, but the rule of thumb is don't stack more than 3 hubs. It cause very high latency. you have 70 comps connected through hubs? That was a very poort design. You should have used a router to a switch/switches. That way there is so much traffic on the network.
