Hi all
I just tried to activate a M$ product and had a problem with the fix that was worked out earlier in the bug tracker; basically the fix added a single M$ DNS server (for the domain one.microsoft.com) into the list of servers the SME box was to query. This single server failed to respond.
I have taken a coupla moments to get DNS 1-4 and update my little script that adds this patch for me, the contents are now as follows:
# Servers listed below are DNS 1-4 at Microsoft as at 6/9/2004
echo 207.46.140.100 >/service/dnscache/root/servers/one.microsoft.com
echo 207.46.140.101 >>/service/dnscache/root/servers/one.microsoft.com
echo 207.46.140.150 >>/service/dnscache/root/servers/one.microsoft.com
echo 207.46.127.151 >>/service/dnscache/root/servers/one.microsoft.com
svc -t /var/service/dnscache
Put this into your own script and chmod it to 777 and away you go.
As a matter of interest I also found:
131.107.102.226 productactivation.one.microsoft.com
and
131.107.97.98 productactivation.one.microsoft.com
131.107.97.77 activate.one.microsoft.com
131.107.102.221 mpa.one.microsoft.com
and
131.107.97.95 mpa.one.microsoft.com

The solution that worked for me was Privoxy, Nightspirt has the contrib
