Could this be a virus of some sort? I have McAfee running, and I performed a scan but it doesn't detect anything. My gut feeling is that there's a virus that's changing the DNS. Any suggestion on how I can confirm, or what other steps I can take? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question It's entirely possible it's an older version and does not support Windows 7. What's installed on the client?
If it works on XP and not 7, all signs point to something about the client software being incompatible with Windows 7. There is connect to workplace, is that what you mean? If you are having to place the info for the hosts in the local hosts file, then that tells me 1, the routing isn't set up correctly for your VPN clients or 2 the clients are not attaching to a DNS server that allows non AD connected hosts to query it's cache, 3 the DNS server youa re querying is performing an iterative search pattern and doesn't know the hosts you are trying to reach, or it is performing a recursive and doesn't know the hosts you are trying to reach, and doesn't have a DNS server to forward requests to that knows the hosts youa re trying to reach.
What exactly happens when you try to map the drive by server name in 7? Does it not find anything, does it give you an error, or what? Do you have any idea what kind of VPN it is? Is someone else in charge of the Linux machine? Somebody should know how to check the VPN logs. They can be extremely useful for troubleshooting. Are you giving it the correct credentials? If this is a home or otherwise non-domain machine you'd need to check "Connect using different credentials".
One is to do it manually , which you should only do if you are at least somewhat familiar working with drivers. Either of these solutions will automatically recognize your system and locate the appropriate drivers for you to use with it.
We recommend this method because it eliminates the risk of human error, such as downloading or installing the wrong driver on your device. Once you download SDI and finish installing the updated drivers, restart your computer. Then try reconnecting to the internet, to determine whether this resolved the issue. As with the router cache, it may be that your DNS needs to be cleared before it can properly make a connection to the internet, or your IP might need a reset.
When the process is finished, it will display a message letting you know that the DNS cache was successfully flushed. Repeat this process for the following commands:. In the Terminal application window, enter the following:. Press the Enter key. However, simply running this command will flush the DNS cache. Struggling with downtime and WordPress issues?
Kinsta is the hosting solution designed with performance and security in mind! Check out our plans. IPv6 is the latest Internet Protocol version that helps route traffic between networks and the internet. Therefore, another potential solution to try is disabling IPv6 on your computer.
To do this in Windows, open your Network Connections control panel , then right-click on your current connection. In the drop-down menu, select Properties :. Refresh your browser and try connecting to the internet again. To do this, open the Terminal application , then issue the following command:. If the issue occurs when the service is running, the server might not be listening on the IP address that you used in your nslookup query.
On the Interfaces tab of the server properties page in the DNS console, administrators can restrict a DNS server to listen on only selected addresses. If the DNS server has been configured to limit service to a specific list of its configured IP addresses, it's possible that the IP address that's used to contact the DNS server is not in the list. You can try a different IP address in the list or add the IP address to the list. In rare cases, the DNS server might have an advanced security or firewall configuration.
If the server is located on another network that is reachable only through an intermediate host such as a packet filtering router or proxy server , the DNS server might use a non-standard port to listen for and receive client requests. Therefore, if the DNS server uses any other port, nslookup queries fail. If you think that this might be the problem, check whether an intermediate filter is intentionally used to block traffic on well-known DNS ports.
Check whether the server that returns the incorrect response is a primary server for the zone the standard primary server for the zone or a server that uses Active Directory integration to load the zone or a server that's hosting a secondary copy of the zone. The problem might be caused by user error when users enter data into the zone. Or, it might be caused by a problem that affects Active Directory replication or dynamic update.
You can determine which server is the primary server by examining the properties of the secondary zone in the DNS console. If the name is correct on the primary server, check whether the serial number on the primary server is less than or equal to the serial number on the secondary server.
If it is, modify either the primary server or the secondary server so that the serial number on the primary server is greater than than the serial number on the secondary server. On the secondary server, force a zone transfer from within the DNS console or by running the following command:. For example, if the zone is corp. Examine the secondary server again to see whether the zone was transferred correctly.
If not, you probably have a zone transfer problem. For more information, see Zone Transfer Problems. If the zone was transferred correctly, check whether the data is now correct.
