DNS - Bugs
I've found 2 bugs in vista beta 2 (build 5384) 64bit edition regarding DNS.1) Wireless adapter using DHCP will incorrectly assign DNS ip address 192.168.1.83 insted of 192.168.1.8. (work arround, disable and enable, it will pick up the correct ip) 2) dns lookups do not work first time out. but eventually will (3rd time usually). This eventually leads ie7 not to load pages. If you let IE wait and time out, it will never connect back to that site at least in 2hour period. (only work arround I've found is to stop the page from loading 5-6 seconds after initializing load, reload, repeat until it loads) Hope fully these will be resolved shortly.

Jccondor, If you believe this to be a bug, please post a bug report directly to MS so that it can be investigated and fixed. It has been observed that Vista does have some issues obtaining a valid IP address from DHCP. Disable and re-enabling the NIC usually resolves the problem (regardless of WiFi or fixed NIC). HTH.

I've tried. After several hours I gave up. Couldn't find how to report the bug. (so much for beta testing) If any one has instructions on how to submit bugs...

There is an icon on the Vista desktop that provides instructions on sending feedback in a default installation.Check that out and let us know if it helps. Thanks.
