You may have some spyware on your system. If you also use a pop up blocker, you can cause a dns failure. Then you have to redial and reconnect to refresh your dns.
Try going to http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2144-10214379.html?tag=lst-0-1 and download Ad Aware. If you have popup stopping software, disable it. Also HotBar causes way bad dns problems. Remove it if you have installed it. (Changes the search page and freezes sometimes.)
If you are on dhcp dialup. Check your settings. Go to Dial up Networking, right click on your isp connection, go to properties. On the first page the only two checks you should need is Enable software compression, and TCP/IP. Click the tcp/ip settings and make sure that you are set to obtain. (If this is a dhcp ISP) Click obtain dns also.
If you have a network card installed, and you have static ip on it, check the following. Right click network neighborhood, click properties, double click the tcp/ip for your network card. Click on the dns tab. Click disable dns. Click ok, ok again, follow the prompts (may need the disc or the location of the original win98 files) reboot.
If this doesn't solve the problem, you can remove dial up adapter and reinstall it. Let me know and I will post how to do that.
