XP Home connects through dialup but unable to browse web

Guest

It started after installing SP2. It connects through dial up connection fine
but than cannot get it to browse the web. I thought that maybe the problem
was with the ISP. When I ping the DNS server it times out which would make
sense why it would not be able to browse the web. I did notice one strange
thing. The name for the DNS server is a bunch of strange characters. Would
that make a difference?

sounds like DNS issue. posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.
