re: DNS error reported w/ Internet Explorer Wednesday, June 19, 2002 at 9:58 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jaime (2 messages posted) If you get the c:\windows\sytem\shdoclc.dll\dnserror.htm msg, you probably have some corrupted winsock keys. Can be caused by a number of programs. AOL has a specified winsock that will only work with AOL that it installs and if you try to use it with any other ISP, it breaks. MCaffe can also cause this...Try the following: First go to add/remove programs in the control panel. Uninstall newdotnet or new.net if you see it. If you happen to see SaveNow in the list, uninstall that also Go to the Windows Setup Tab. Uncheck Communications. Click apply. Click ok. It will ask you to reboot your computer. DO NOT REBOOT. Say no. Leave the control panel up. Go to start>>run>>regedit. Highlight My Computer on the left. At the top of the registry editor, click on Registry>>export registry file. Save it to your desktop. Call it Backup.reg Make sure the Export Range at the bottom is set to All. Once the registry is backed up, browse to each of the following folders or "keys" in the registry and delete them: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\AFVXD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\DHCP HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\MSTCP HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock2 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess \Authentication\SMM_Files Close the registry editor. Go back to control panel. Double click add/remove programs. Go to the Windows setup tab. Highlight the word Communications (not the checkmark box) and click details in the bottom right. Put a check in Dial up Networking. Click Ok. Click apply. Click ok. It will ask you to reboot. This time: REBOOT. When you get back up, try connecting to the net and browsing.
