No DNS services on WinME.
I installed 2nd NIC and ICS (internet connection sharing) on a WinME machine connected to cable modem.
Was able to surf on the 2nd LAN attached computer, but primary PC couldn't resolve names. No problem for the primary to ping anywhere (including the DNS server).
Decided to give up for a while and wanted to get back to having Internet work on one PC. Removed both NICs and reinstalled. No luck, still can ping but can not resolve names (in IE or DOS PING command).
Everything about IP routing looks fine and my ISPs DNS entries are automatically configed and visible in WINIPCFG. I have examined HOST, LMHOSTS and they have no entries. ARP –a looks fine. ROUTE PRINT is fine.
What would cause DNS to stop working??
Could not find info on how to uninstall ICS – that supposedly only installed ICS* files – which included a DNS proxy server.
Thanks so much in advance!
ps- I officially hate WinME. Nothing but trouble.
