I just went through this myelf. Have you changed or altered DHCP server lately? In our case, this went on for perhaps years with no one noticing, since the workstations all function properly. You just can't see them using DNS. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787034.aspx It is to early for me to state unequivocally that our problem is cured, but it seems to be declining. One of the computers experiencing these symptoms I "fixed" by deleting the PTR record (there was no host record) then doing ipconfig /release, then rebooting. ipconfig /registerdns had no effect -- other than to occasionally grow a new crop of event as described. OTOH, I have two W2K workstations that don't get A records in DNS.
