I setup a new computer with XP Pro and added it to our network for an easier setup of applications. The computer was then taken to one of our remote sites. Now I want this computer to run as though basically it is a home computer, without any network functions. I took the computer off of the domain. Uninstalled the software added to give access to the Internet through the network. I added a basic 56K dialup service to access the Internet. I can log on to the Internet and the status shows that packets are receiving and sending. However, when opening IE 6.0, an error appears showing “Page cannot be displayed”. If I type another page such as www.microsoft.com, another message stating “IE could not open the search page” appears. At the bottom of IE a message of shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm also appears along with “could not find the server”. We are unable to access the Internet for any web surfing. It seems as though residual network setting are hindering the conversion.
I feel at this point my only option is to reformat. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
