Hi, My company's server is not allowing us to access certain websites. A workaround is to modify the host file on each user's workstation. Unfortunately the said website uses many dynamic IPs and it doesn't work. Is there a way i can set something in the server's DHCP to allow the website? Or is it DNS issue?

Hi, Thanks for posting here. Have we ever made it work with modifying hosts files on clients ? can you test by assigning static network settings (IP ,Mask , default gateway) and also specifying to use internet DNS server like 8.8.8.8 and see if it will work . If it will and we are the DHCP admin then configuring the DHCP options to make clients to use additional external DNS server is a workaround. However since your network admin had set such restriction ,may I know why we try to break it ? Perhaps we should consult with network admin to get a more valid solution. J Thanks.
