    Strange DNS problems with Windows

    Hi,

    I'm using two computers linked through a WL500g (with firmware 1.9.2.7-3a, but as far as I can tell it's irrelevant). Both use wired connection and both boot either Linux or WindowsXP. When I use Windows sometimes the DNS seems to disappear. I can still connect from (obviously using IP numbers instead of fully qualified domain names) and to the corresponding computer (I have a Cygwin sshd running). I've not observerd the same problem with any of my computers using Linux. I've also observed that if I change the DNS "Use 192.168.1.1 as preferred DNS", then "Use DHCP provided DNS", Windows goes back to normal. There is probably a bug in the TCP/IP stack of Windows (who would have believed it ?) but the behaviour is strange: it does not occur if I connect directly to my provider (using DHCP as well) but only through the router and only with Windows. Does anybody have any idea ?
