I changed the Internet Options to delete Temporary Internet files on exit and now I cannot go to a site using the name i.e. www.ebay.com. I can go to it if I know the IP address.
Uninstalling and reinstalling corrected one PC, but the other PC has Win 2000 and I tried to uninstall and I cannot do it.

I would verify my DNS server in Network Neighborhood properties is set according to what my ISP recommends.

I did all that. DNS settings were in place before change. Only change made was to Options,Advanced. Delete Temporary Interent files on close.
I did it on two different PC's and the result was the same.

If the 2 computers in question are using server assigned DNS, then they may be using different DNS's. Try contacting the ISP and getting a DNS to hard code in the internet settings. You can try reinstalling the OS but the problem is almost certainly with the DNS.

This was fixed by changing the security settings in the advanced tab under Internet options.

First you need to determine if your dns resolution is working for that domain (use nslookup to check that)
Second: Verify the internet security tab
Third:Verify if the host is not excluded under the advanced host options.

Hope it helps!
