If there is a way to force the TS stations to never try and register with a ddns this would solve the problem. The only way I fixed it was with static IP's that force the server to not even try dns lookup and use the ip address directly. It's weird, almost like a server end problem, but my NCD terminals do not exibit this problem and they use dhcp but the server does not try to use a dns lookup for them. -----Original Message----- From: thi...@li...

I think I ran into this issue before, but somehow got it working without. . .Miles, is there some way that the parameters manually specified in the buildtime conf can be used even if dhcp is being used (such as NET_DNS1 and NET_DNS_SEARCH)?? We don't pass DNS with DHCP as sort of an internet use stopper, but when I specify these two in the buildtime config, they are ignorred, so clients can't get DNS resolution. I am wondering if this is part of the issue. I will probably try switching the to a win2k dhcp server over the weekend to see if DDNS entries are made by TS if they get their info from a Win2k DHCP server (to check and see if the server is having trouble contacting the clients). It has gotten really bad these last couple days. (added another 5-6 TS's). I will check to see what Citrix logging is done. . .don't see much. . .will also try adding the debug package again to see what might get logged on the TS side (didn't find much this morning 3am).
