I can't connect to any website. It comes up with a message "cannot find server or DNS error internet explorer. I currently have IE 5.0. I tried to reset IP config but it will not take. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks Jeff

It would be nice to know what type of Internet connection you're using. If it's dial-up, 
the Winsock repair may be the key?

Repair Internet Explorer: Select Start\Run, type MSINFO32 in the 'Open' box 
and press enter. From the 'TOOLS' menu select 'Internet Explorer Repair Tool'. Then 
from the next menu select the repair option.

If you have installed any new software before this happened, there's a possibility 
that it may be effecting your Internet connection. If you're not sure, try running 
SpyBot.

There could also be a Winsock problem. Run the tests listed on the site below and 
be sure the symptoms match. This goody will replace the Winsock files, correct the 
registry entries and re-install DUN. Obviously you will need to copy the program 
to a floppy on another system and then to your Desktop. Winsock 2 Fix
