Help, I have a NT4.0 machine that is unable connect to the internet because it can not resolve the host names (pinging by IP address works fine). All user will receive a bad IP address error when they try to ping using names instead of IP addresses. It will only work if I am logged on using the administrator account. I don't believe this to be a user's permission issue (on the server side) because the same user is able to connect to the internet logging onto a different computer on the network. This is specific to this station only. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Probably has a bad DNS address under that profile. If you're using DHCP to assign DNS addresses, be sure that the DNS enty under everyone's profile is empty. If you're using static addresses, double check that the DNS entry is correct and that there's at least two of them in there.
