dsl connection

[CH]

I have a dsl connection with a router. Suddenly, I cannot
connect to the internet using Internet Explorer 6. I can
connect using Netscape. The error I receive is cannot find
server or dns server. I have double checked all my
connection information and it is correct. Any ideas what
is wrong?

check the LAN settings in IE options.

Everything is unchecked.

automatically detect settings
unautomatic configuration script
and
use proxy server

are all unchecked which I believe is the setting that has
always been there.

CH,

A browser hijack maybe?

Check for spyware. Use HijackThis <http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/> and
Spybot S&D <http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download>.
1) Install and run Spybot. Trust Spybot, and accept all
recommendations.
2) Install and run HijackThis. Do NOT make any changes immediately.
3) Have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the
following forums:

(The latter may or may not respond for you as I have read reports that
the SWI site is currently under DOS attack). All of these forums
appear to be rather busy right now, so be patient.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Unfortunately, that did not work...

What did not work? Did you get a HJT log? Did the HJT link not work?
