Whenever a site use Internet Explorer, I get the error message "cannot find server". If I type the web site in using AOL, I can go to it. For example, If I go to Windows Update, it uses Internet Explorer and I get the error message. I just updated to XP and still get the message
 
Hi...I was wondering if you got help with this problem message? I did not
see any answer to your question. I've been getting this ratty message for
months...and I cannot find anyone that can help me rid this problematic
message from my PC. I've even paid to get help....but that doesn't work
either. I'm new here. I am not computer-smart.

I hope you were told at least that it is a normal message indicating various
things, including the possibility that your ISP is providing bad service.

There are various things that you can do to try to investigate the symptom
further but they depend on what tools you have. If you had bothered
disclosing your OS I might have made some assumptions about that.

If you need more help supply some details and give an example
for someone to work with.

Then keep reading. Use Google Groups and search for discussions
about topics you want to understand better. Hint: you can cut through
a lot of the chaff from other questioners and get to some answers
by including this expression in your search: MVP OR MSFT

BTW posting a "Me too!" (such as this) in a thread with a non-specific
Subject: line (such as this) makes it less likely that you will be given
a reply. I see you're using the new web interface to newsgroups.
Check out its Help page (top right). You'll find a lot of helpful tips
in there which will improve your chances of finding information and
getting answers to your questions. Hmm... unfortunately the link
to the article on netiquette is unavailable. However, you can find
*many* other pages using that word as a search term.


Good luck
