DNS Issues, what a pain...
I recently installed a clean copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits on my HP dv2845se laptop and I have DNS issues.
Before, I was using XP and I had no DNS issues at all.
The culprit seems to be my old router which is a Speedstream 5660.
Why do I say that? Because when my wife bought a laptop with Vista some time ago, she also had DNS issues, until I fixed everything
by disabling all these settings:
TCP Global Parameters
---------------------------------------------
Receive-Side Scaling State : disabled
Chimney Offload State : disabled
NetDMA State : disabled
Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : disabled
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : none
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled
Now, I also disabled all the settings on my laptop but I still have DNS issues.
As a test, I installed the network driver for Windows Vista but no luck.
As a test, I disabled the 'DNS Client' service but no luck.
As a test, I unchecked all the IPv6 from all the adapters but no luck.
I am using a fixed IP address and a fixed DNS address.
I am out of ideas. Anybody? I know I will probably have to buy a new router but in the mean time I am trying to fix the issue.
Thanks
