I have a Windows ME computer that has a modem AND a USB network adapter. The modem was used for Prodigy and the network card was just added to get on the cable internet service. Also have AOL over tcp/ip that WAS working. Ever since the network adapter was added, Internet Explorer will not resolve any names when dialed up or through the network card. I can ping anything by IP but not by name. My thoughts are that DNS is screwed in some sort or another. Is there a registry entry that can be changed or deleted so that this can be fixed ??? It is IE6 on WinME and he tried the go back "feature" of windows.

Sounds like you should add dns settings on your network adapter. Your adapter needs to know how to communicate with the world. Tell it the DNS server to use, (your isp's DNS) then it should work.
