I have two machines, one with Win2000 Pro and one with Advanced Server. Connecting to my ISP through my modem (on both) shows me that I connected to the ISP. As soon as I want to browse to any site I get a message that it cannot be found. I can, however, ping any IP address on the internet as well as the address (e.g www.microsoft.com) but cannot browse.
Somebody said I neede SP2 for IE 5.5 which I did install but I get the same result. I have SP2 for Win2000 installed as well I have tried connecting and browsing through 2 ISP's. One which uses Unix/Linux servers and one which uses Win2000/NT4.0 servers.
Once again, connecting and pinging is no problem, browsing is impossible.
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have a problem with the DNS. Check your browser settings and make sure no checkboxes are checked for your Dial-in settings (I assume you are using a dial-up modem and not a DSL or cable modem). Also type ipconfig /all in the command line to find the DNS servers for your ISP. Try manually entering the preffered and alternate DNS server IP addresses in your dial-up settings. Hope this helps.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
