DNS error

[Guest]

Hi

I am facing a strange problem after recently installing SP2. Normally I can
browse the internet on IE6 & send/receive messages on Outlook express without
any problems. Sometimes when I click on the send/receive button on OE, it
either stops responding (hangs) or I get the Error: 10061, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E. After that I am unable to browse any web page and get the error
'Cannot find server or DNS Error' on IE6. The issue gets resolved by iteself
when I log out and reboot.

Shall highly appreciate your help in resolvingthis issue.

Thanks

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<paste>
Disabling email protection does not leave you vulnerable to viruses and
malicious software in email. It is a separate layer of protection in
addition to Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect scans any incoming files, including
email, as they are saved to your hard drive. As long as you keep your virus
definitions up to date with LiveUpdate, and keep Auto-Protect enabled and
set to scan files as they are created or downloaded, your system is fully
protected.
