Topic: xp pro gets right dns adress but no redirect in IE (proxies are off!)

Hi,
somebody ever seen the situation, that a "win xp pro computer" gets the right Ip adress (192.168.182.xxx) and also the right dns adress from chillispot, and this computer still is not able to access the login page after startup from Internet Explorer. Proxies are all deactivated. All other computers like Mac, Linux, Vista, xp home edition have no problems to get the redirect. This already happend to two xp pro computers.

Interesting detail: When i type in the exact ip adress into the adress field, I get access to the page (login must be performed through chillispot).
So there must be a DNS Problem on the xp pro. All the other systems work proper.

Also already did ipconfig /flushdns; it did not solve the problem. Firewalls and virus protection were also deactivated.
Could there be a problem with the "hosts" file?

Somebody got an idea what could have happened here?

Thanks in advance!
