"ipconfig /all" will include the information in its output.  You  can
redirect it into a text file by running

IPCONFIG /ALL  >IPCONFIG.TXT

Do this for the machine with the problem, and for one  that works, and then
open the IPCOFIG.TXT files, and copy and paste the  text into an email
message to the list.  I expect we'll find that  there's a difference in the
"DNS Server" addresses  displayed.



Dave,
Excellent instructions!  Here's the results for comp4 (it's IP ends in  4)
that is seen by the network but won't connect to the internet:

I'm a bit confused as to why 3 adapters show up.  Is this the info you  need
to help solve the lack of an internet connection?  If it is, how do I  fix the
problem?
