DNS error

[agarg_1]

Hi I have a desktop and laptop connected via a router and
share the files, printing and high speed cable internet.
Both computers have Windows 2000. I lose the internet
connection after 1-2 hours of inactivity..then I hve to
reboot the laptop to restore the internet. The file
sharing and printer sharing are always available. When I
go to open a web page this flashes very quickly at the
bottom of page "Opening Page" RES:\\C:\WINNT\SYSTEM 32
\SHDOCLC.DLL\DNS ERROR.HTM This results in an error and
the requested web page cannot be displayed. I then have
to reboot the laptop to regain the internet conncetion.
The desktop never loses its connection. Pls help

Is this a domain or you just have these two workstations (no domain
controllers)?

When the laptop displays that error in the browser, try going into a command
prompt (CMD prompt) and ping the website in question that you;re trying to
get to. Then go back to the browser and refresh the window.

If that doesn't help, let's take a look at your ipconfig /all (post them
here please) from both machines so we can compare your configuration.
