My IE6 doesn't open the page when the address is typed in but if I type in the IP address then it's fine. e.g. www.google.com gives the 'page cannot be displayed' error, but google opens if I enter 'http://216.239.39.99'.
I've tried other browers, they aren't working. In fact if I use 'ping www.google.com' at the cmd prompt it's says it couldn't connect, but 'ping 216.239.39.99 ' works fine.
(I'm using WinXP)
1. Obviously, make sure that the IP addresses that you're getting for your DNS servers are correct. To verify that, open a DOS window, type the following command at the DOS prompt, and then hit Enter:
ipconfig /all
2. Download and run the (free) WinsockXPFix program.
