I am stumped - I have a Windows 2003 Server Domain which is connected via T-1 to other company servers. Some computers have fixed IPs, some have their IP assigned by DHCP
Let's call the fixed IP computer A, and the DHCP assigned computer B
I am trying to ping a remote computer. I know the IP address and it is in WINS
When A tries to pings it succeeds, when B tries to pings it fails
The same with tracert, A succeeds and B fails on the third jump
Both are looking in the right IP which happens to be 10.49.0.61
This is the route from A

This is the route from B

3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.
Both computers get to 192.168.44.2, then to 192.168.43.2, but B never makes it to 192.168.16.5
Why would the DNS request be different from two computers with the same gateway and DNS servers.
What could cause this problem?
TIA - TOMG
The IPCONFIG results for A and B are identical.
