Hi,

Recently my home PC crashed and I had to reformat and re-install everything. I installed Win2k with SP3 and IE6 with SP1. I am dialling to the ISP and connecting with NO problems. Whenever I try to browse the internet I get an error message "page cannot be displayed or DNS error". I have checked DNS settings. All Okay. I can ping the web sites and it resolves name to IP. I installed Firefox and it works fine but this is a workaround.

I would appreciate if someone can help to resolve this problem.

Cheers,

PJ

if you can use firefox it means basicly IE is corrupted.
use adware and spybot search and destroy to eliminate spyware.

and go to windowsupdate.com to update the rest of the components of windows

Checked your IE settings ? One of the updates put IE to MS custom level (high) and basically disabled all internet connections through proxy servers. Tools -> internet options -> security and advanced tabs.

May also want to check your firewall setting (if you have one), make sure IE is not blocked.
