    Hi,

    According to your description, I suspect the issue which you encounter is a DNS related issue. Please try to ping the DNS server and see whether the connectivity between the DNS server is good. If it is, please use nslookup command to check the DNS status.

    NOTE: please disable the firewall in the meantime.

    I was able to ping DNS Server fine.  DNS Status was fine.  ended up running winsockfix.exe to fix the problem.  Don't know what it did to fix it but it worked!

    Hi,

    OK, but you can obtain the IP address properly and can not resolve the DNS name in the meantime, so this is a DNS issue.

    Also, the followin link will tell you how to determine and restore from winsock corruption.
