Can't get DNS since installation of XP SP3

Hi there

Since we have installed XP SP3 on several computers, it is not possible to
get the DNS servers from our DHCP. The dns servers are just missing (checked
with ipconfig /all). With XP SP1 and SP2 it works perfectly. If I type in the
DNS servers manually, it works fine as well.

Instead of Microsoft DHCP/DNS service we use a special software. If we
connect the same xp sp3 computer to a network with MS dhcp/dns, it works fine.

So something must have changed with the resolving of DNS server which seems
to be not compatible with our dhcp/dns product. Does somebody now something
about a similar effect?

I'd contact the product maker and ask for a SP3 patch. Until then, use the
MS software.
