How do you distinguish a DNS problem from a network problem?
Answer Posted / drew phillibert
If you're able to ping 157.166.224.26 but you are NOT able
to ping cnn.com
Then you're having a DNS problem.
[If you are NOT able to ping EITHER, then there are network
problems and you have NO problems if you CAN ping BOTH]
You can then use nslookup to locate an alternate internal or
external dns server that correctly resolves 'cnn.com' to
it's ip address and configure your workstation's NIC for
this static dns server until the problems with the DHCP
assigned DNS server are fixed.
