DNS error

[anthonypdocherty]

Help!!
I have Windows 98, version 6.0 Explorer..I can now longer
get any webpages!!
Error message...either 'website has technical
difficulties'...unlikely all websites for 2 days have
difficulties!!! or it says there is something wrong with
my browsers settings i.e. DNS??

What is DNS? And how can I fix my Explorer? Can anybody
help? I'm stuck. I've spoken with my service provider and
they cannot help.

my email is (e-mail address removed)

Thanks in advance
Anthony

Hi,
Try running this Winsock repair tool:
LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip

Next check for malware. Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware,
Spybot) at
