In the past few days, Internet Explorer won't open any web pages, but displays a message saying no site was found at the URL. I can connect to my ISP, but can't ping outside of my DNS.

Actions so far:

1. Ran virus check-none found.
2. Ran system file checker-found setupx.dll was corrupt. Replaced setupx.dll and winsock.dll from CAB file.
3. Partial re-install of Windows 98.

Symptoms persist, where do I go from here?

Please help,

RAC

First, call your ISP and make sure they aren't having problems with their DNS servers. If their servers are down, you won't be able to go anywhere outside your DNS.

Barring that, make sure your settings in IE didn't get changed somehow. It needs to be set up however your ISP says - so ask them while you are on the phone with them. In IE, there is a spot for where it needs to go to look up DNS info. Tools->Internet Options->Connections. Those settings are supposed to be set when you install your ISP program. Something may have messed it up.

There should be a support number for you to call in the settings or help box of your ISP program or around there.

Check the version of IE you are using and make sure that your security encryption is set to 128 bit

Open the Add/Remove Programs,highlight IE in list and select the Remove button,in the popup menu choose to do a repair of IE

Last resort will be to use utility IERADICATOR download to remove IE and then do a fresh install of IE,to which it may resolve any java script problems that may be causing this problem
