What is the URL of the page you have set as your home
page? Let us know and someone else can try it.

Some Web sites (especially commercial ones that want to
get too fancy for their own good - MHO) have some code to
feed different pages depending on the browser. It sounds
like there's either something wrong with the way your
browser identifies itself, or the site has broken its own
code and no one can get into it with IE.

There's always a possibility that your IE Content Advisor
is blocking the page, too.

Sorry, if it's not just the home page but any URL you
type, I'm out of my depth. The "dns" in your error
message is scary. Can IE display documents that are on
your own computer? If you're on a network, can it display
documents that are on other boxes? I don't know enough to
say what you should do next whether the answers are yes or
no; I just ask the questions to help scope out the
problem. (I must've been an Arts student in a previous
life. ;-)

Had the exact same problem!!!! I counldnt get any pages to display! The way
I fixed it, was installing 98 upgrade cd over the current version. And all
of a sudden it worked!! Didnt mess up anyfiles or settings. Just reinstall
over what is already there!
Please let me know how that works.
