Another DNS Issue.

[D23E-T]

Hello all, this is my first post on the forum. I'm currently using Windows Xp Home, with service pack two. My I.E. worked fine until i updated to the newest version. Now I'm getting a DNS Error.

I'm currently using a Linksys Router.
I Can NOT Connect Via IP Adress.
I Can NOT Connect Via Domain Name.
Tried " netsh winsock reset catalog " & " netsh int ip reset reset.log "
Mozilla Firefox does not work. "Cannot connect to server."

Every post i seem to see says they can connect via I.P. yet i cant. So i cant seem to find help for my issue. I'm running on Embarq DSL. I have reset my modem many times. Same issue with or without the router in the network. My Laptop which uses IE 6 Still works fine, however it is my Girlfriends p.c. which i handed down to her, when i traded up.

Thanks for the help, this is really bothering me.

Moved?.. okay.. Anyone understand whats going on? This only happened after the Internet Explorer update.. so i assumed it would have to do with I.E... Guess not?

Perhaps some real information might help here.

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Also, please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages. If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?




On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following commands:

PING 216.109.112.135

PING yahoo.com

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Any ideas...?

[johnwill]

You can ping Internet sites by name, so there is no DNS issue here.

I'd have to believe you have a firewall or other security software product that's blocking the requests.

Try booting in safe mode with networking and see if that resolves the connection issue.

[D23E-T]

I checked all my firewall and local connection settings. Nothing is set to block anything. Firewall is even off and wont work. Safe mode with networking does work however. And once i did that I'm able to open my homepage on I.E. in normal mode. However anywhere i try to go from there "Cannot be displayed." So..

Safemode + Networking = Works Fine
Normal Mode = Nope.

[johnwill]

Obviously, something that is loading in normal mode is the problem.

Next step is to start disabling groups of startup items and rebooting. Use MSCONFIG for the task.
