The pitiful, crap, windors95 dung does not have scripting options. So you cannot write a script to do this for your customers. You must tell your, already confused users, to do the following: Click Start->Settings->Control Panel Double Click Network Scroll through installed network components and locate TCP/IP (This of course assumes Microsoft stack) Highlight TCP/IP and click on Properties A screen with six tabs will show up Select the DNS Configuration Click on Enable DNS Enter Host and Domain Enter DNS IP number AND CLICK ADD If applicable enter Domain Suffix IP and click add. This should resolve the DNS problem, but the fun is only starting :-). Enabled WINS or improper or missing gateway IP number maybe the source of other problems. Hope this helps.
