I get the following error when I try and connect to the
Internet.

The page cannot be displayed – Cannot find server or DNS
Error Internet Explorer.

Clicking on File – Properties – General Tab – displays the
address URL as

IPCONFIG /all displays the following info – note the blank

C:\Documents and Settings\Matt>

To-date I have re0installed my O/S to no avail.

I have removed and installed Internet Explorer.

I have also run a system file check.


Everything was working fine then all of a sudden I was
unable to display pages in my Browser.

Just prior to this I attempted to download a screen saver
I had bought off CD which I have since removed.

It installed other stuff that I did not want on my machine
so this was removed through un-install of the program but
then my browser stopped working. Now having reloaded
Internet Explorer from scratch I would have thought that
this would have fixed the problem.

I have three copies of Wsock32.dll on my machine – at the
following locations.

WSOCK32.DLL C:\I386
Wsock32.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
Wsock32.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DLCCA – (this
entry is in blue)

I am using Windows XP [ Version 5.1.2600 ] Home SP1.
and Internet Explorer v.6.0.2800.1106.

My configuration is set to the following, which has worked
perfectly in the past for a DIAL-Up connection using
TCP/IP.

Auto Detect – No Proxy – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) – QoS
Packet Scheduler – Obtain IP address automatically –
Obtain DNS server address automatically.

In Summary – I get allocated physical IP addresses but get
no IP to Host address mapping.Does anybody know what
controls this function on a Home PC using a DIal-Up
connection to an ISP. As re-installing Internet Explorer
and re-installing XP O/S (upgrade option) appears not to
have rectified the process that enables IP to Host mapping.

I have had this problem for 10 days and my local ISP
(btopenworld) to date have only come up with limited very
simplistic suggestions that anyone could get out of a
basic computer book.

Matt.
