IE6 Cannot Find Server

[Guest]

Need help. Whenever I try to use IE and connect to the internet, I always
receive this messsage: Cannot find Server. Every site I try to access the
message is always the same. I tried renaming my host file to either host.old;
oldhost; host.zo.bk. I even searched my whold computer for adware and deleted
it, cleared my temperary internet files and cookies and still nothing. I just
cannot connect through the internet with IE.

Hi,
It's possible that you still have malware installed. But try the appropriate
Winsock repair tool.

Win XP...
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm

Windows 98/ME...
LSP Fix from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

If unsuccessful with those steps, please post back with additional
information such as Windows version, type of internet connection and which
adware removal tools you used.

All those things that you all have posted didn't work. My computer is a
Windows 98, use dial-up connection and I have used Spy-bot and the Yahoo
Anti-Spy program.

Cannot fix the problem with the suggestions that you gave. I am running a
Windows 98, with a dial up connection and using porgrams such as Spy Bot
(Search and Destroy) and the Yahoo Anti-Spy

Hi,
As Jon posted:

Are you sure that dial-up settings are correct- both in Internet Options>
Connections and in your ISPs dial-up connectoid.

Have you recently installed any security programs that might be causing
this?

Deleting the cache, History and Cookies folders (from DOS) may help:
Restart in MS-DOS Mode
From C:\> (type and press Enter after each command)
cd\windows
smartdrv
deltree tempor~1
deltree history
deltree cookies

Restart via Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Download and run CWShredder and Ad-aware. See:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.
Check for updates before running Ad-aware.

In Ctrl Panel> add/remove> IE> add/remove, is there a "repair" option? A
repair of IE may help.
