Yesterday, after doing nothing different than normal I tried to get on the internet and none of my machines would connect to the internet, but all had internal connectivity.
When trying to get on the web, Chrome had a "Resolving Hosts" message in the lower left and then would direct me to the page as if the domain I was trying to reach didn't exist (even though it was google or msn or something that definitely was not down).
I looked at ipconfig /all and the only thing that appeared to be different was that there was a Connection-Specific DNS suffix. I've never set one up on my network, don't really even understand what it is, and have never noticed one on my computers before.
In this case, one machine had "company.com" and the other one that I looked at had "isatap.company.com".
I was also unable to log into the router until rebooting the router and the client machines.
One computer is running XP pro, the other Vista Home Premium. The router is running DD-WRT.
The only other thing of note is that I've never had interruptions in my connection before, but since this event the other night, my World of Warcraft sessions will disconnect about every half-hour but will let me log right back in.
Any ideas?
