Staedlerx,

A couple of things.

1. You are running a fairly old Service Pack version of XP. From what I recall a lot of fixes for network issues were incorporated in SP3  - I would look at upgrading. (I know this is the usual helpdesk answer, but in this case it may work). Even check driver levels - I had a devil of job getting a laptop working with WPA2. (The Windows native wireless config worked, but not the Intel utility).  It wasn't till I upgraded the 2 year old Intel drivers that everything worked swimmingly.

2. Make sure when you test the different interfaces and things go wrong, do the change and also do a reboot. While Windows since W2K should support dynamic updating etc, it ain't always so. (For instance I am running Vista SP1 on one of my machines, and I have found exactly the same issue (following a couple sleep/wake cycles) that DHCP and IP all work, but I can't get a DNS response until a reboot.

As your DNS response is reaching your machine (and being rejected), I am not sure Wireshark can help you. (MS Network Monitor does show the processes that packets are being sent too, but I am not sure whether this will tell you anything new).

Regards, Martin

Your DNS suffix looks odd.  What's the http://.... doing there?   But I
do see hybrid for your Node Type.  Try deleting the keys that I
mentioned before.  I'm not sure why your boxes decided to use NBT
(NetBIOS over TCP) for Windows name resolution.
