PepiMK Administrator Staff member Anti-Beacon Customer Spybot Customer Translator OpenSBI Expert Oct 23, 2008 #4 Does "the same problem" mean that it is affected by enabling/dsabling the DNS Service?
F Fungus New member Oct 23, 2008 #5 Yep, and disabling the DNS service will break internet connections for those that have a dynamic ip or are using active directory.
