Can not visit some URLs?

Hi ,

I am facing some funny but weird problem. I have these three sites:


http://www.yrbrands.com/
http://www.cohnwolfe.com/
http://burson-marsteller.com/


Some people on our network can visit this URL fine but some people can not. I am not sure why is it happening.

Any ideas?

Are the DNS server entries on the clients network config all the same?

What happens when the client pings the URLs?

Hello guys,

You are right. My DNS settings were set to get DNS server automatically for those which were nto working and for those computers, which were able to load the URl, DNS server was manually inserted.

The moment I set the DNS server to manual IP, it started working.

But the question is: WHY automatic DNS settings dontt work ? Because the manual entry that I made was nothing my manually entering 192.168.125.1, which is my router.
That would most likely be incorrect settings on yoyr DHCP server.
Is your server or router doing DHCP?

You put your routers IP in for the DNS? This will work since your router can be a DNS server. So you don't have a server? Just computers connected to a router right? Then we want to look at your routers DHCP settings. Can you give us some screen shots?

If the routers DHCP was working correctly you should auto acquire the DNS numbers you see on your routers status page.
are the domains propagated?
