Got an email this morning to say it suddenly started working again! How very strange..
However, during my investigation last night I noticed that a second domain controller on the network is registering itself in DNS with its old IP address, which is on a completely different range. I checked that its ip address is set correctly and all looks fine. Can't see an entry anywhere else. Deleted the records from DNS and it keeps coming back with its old one? WINS shows the correct address and I can browse to it via network places etc. Due to this it failing to replicate. This is driving me mad! Where would it be picking up this entry from? I checked RRAS and DHCP on the old server and its not running, though I think they were at some time in the past. Any ideas guys? -----Original Message----- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:k...@adopenstatic.com] Sent: 09 August 2012 03:23 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Weird issue I would work your way systemically up the stack from lowest to highest: a) tracert from the two machines at the site (the affected and non affected machines). Is the routing path the same for both machines? Is the name resolving correctly? This can help eliminate DNS and routing issues. b) Next, eliminate the browser as a problem: use telnet.exe on the two machines, and verify that a connection to port 80 on the server can be established. This can also help eliminate a FW or other oddity that might be blocking a connection. c) verify the server is responding, by issuing a GET request in the telnet window. If the server is responding, check the web server logs on the server to see what an expected log file entry looks like d) examine the browser configuration: is a proxy server, or something else odd, configured in the browser? If you install another browser, do you have an issue? e) after making a request in the browser, see if the request is making it to the server: anything in httperr.log logfile? Anything in the IIS logfile? Anything in eth Windows Event Log?

Internally, it does not work on any client machines, including the server. I can ping the site via IP and by its full url from the server. Tracert shows no errors and makes it all the way to the site. I'm going over there tomorrow, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do now.. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: 08 August 2012 17:02 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Weird issue If it works for other networks, that means it works for various client machines, correct? If it doesn't work for one user, focus on that user - clean browser cache, check plugins/addons, etc. Kurt On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 5:29 AM, David Lloyd <da...@future-support.com> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Got a call today to say that one particular website won’t load from a user. > > > > Was working fine yesterday.
