DHCP Client service and Dynamic DNS relationship

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

 

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.
