I noticed something similar on one of my Linux machines last week. It appears to be a DNS issue as shown below: A dig for debian.org against the MSU DNS server returns no answer. rob@netserver:~$ dig @35.8.98.43 debian.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: ;debian.org. IN A But against an external DNS server (4.2.2.2) it returns the proper result. rob@netserver:~$ dig @4.2.2.2 debian.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: ;debian.org. 3600 IN A 192.25.206.10 What DNS servers do you have assigned for your static machines? Perhaps they are different than the ones the dynamic machines are querying. -Rob Keena Missy Koos wrote: >We were noticing the same DHCP problem in the student services building.
