Alright I just put a WinXP box on 192.168.0.2 and it was able to resolve domains just fine. So its not the router thats blocking anything. I'm at a loss here to what just "broke". I still don't know why it can resovle when its on DHCP but can't when I put it on 192.168.0.2 manually. --------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Neo Montoya.
