Windows 7: DNS issues

I have two networks running on my win xp machine(s). I have set two IP's using the Advanced settings.

The first network is DHCP enabled(Switch takes care of that), i have put static IP's to avoid confusion. The second network is a link from a data feed.



It works like a charm in windows xp.. I installed Win 7 Pro 32bit in a test machine, did the same configuration and things are going crazy....i experience dns drops, i can't connect to any of my shared folders? any idea on how i can go about it?

Sorry, but your post confuses me. You said:

The first network is DHCP enabled(Switch takes care of that), i have put static IP's to avoid confusion.

If DHCP is enabled, why are you assigning static IP?

What does the output of ipconfig /all look like:

Click on Start then Run and paste the following into the Run box, exactly as show, including double quotes:

cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

and press ENTER.

A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close.

I have been experiencing this problem for the last few weeks. And have now just found a security setting that seems to have fixed the problem

The FIPS setting needs to be set under the advanced security settings.

Open Manage YoUr Networks - highlight your network connection and then the properties. Select the Security tab and then advanced settings. Check the FIPS box is checked. Hope this helps.
