Hi Matthew,

Thanks for getting back to me.
Yea our NAS assigns our clients both DNS.... unfortunately many of our
clients are still using Win '95.

Kindest regards

Dave,

Do your access servers allocate your customers with Name server IP's on
connection? Are you specifying both there?

I've seen the same thing in the past... although I have a feeling it was a
bug
that M$ fixed by about the time 'doze98 came out?... i.e. in DUN1.2?

Matthew.
