Recently, after removing a virus from a customer's PC I encountered a problem while trying to get the PC back on the network. I tested the drop with another computer and it worked fine. The PC would not pull a DHCP address. I then gave the PC a static IP/DNS settings and the PC was able to ping 8.8.8.8 (which means it had access to the internet) but could not resolve google.com with multiple DNS settings.

I recently completed a fresh install of Exchange 2010 for a client. After moving a few mailboxes to the new server I wanted to test the OWA. When I browsed to https:///owa it threw the normal SSL cert error but after I accepted the certificate the site would not display the normal OWA logon page.
