Today I couldn't ping, nslookup or connect to a server. Others in my team could ping and connect, they were resolving the server name via WINS. I don't have any WINS servers listed in my TCPIP config. So I decided to check on the server:
C:\>ipconfig /registerdns
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
: Refreshing DNS names
: Refreshing DNS names
C:\>services.msc
--- The DHCP Client service was disabled. DHCP Client service is responsible for registering the hostname in a Dynamic DNS environment.
Changed the startup type to Automatic, started the DHCP Client service, and re-ran the ipconfig /registerdns command.
See: Dynamic DNS updates do not work if the DHCP client service stops - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264539
