HI, found this: seems to work

Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site...
Applies To
This article was previously published under Q175722
SYMPTOMS
When you start Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error
message:
Internet Explorer 4.x


Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site Web address. A connection
with the server could not be established.
Internet Explorer 5


The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
CAUSE
This error message can occur for any of the following reasons:
a.. Multiple copies of the Wsock32.dll file are installed on your
computer.
b.. An incorrect version of the Wsock32.dll file is installed on your
computer.
c.. If you try to view a file (file://) you do not have permissions to
view.
d.. Intermittent connection problems, low system resources, and dropped
connections while attempting to load the Web page.
e.. You are using America Online as your Internet service provider, and
there is not a Dial-Up Adapter installed, but there is an AOL Adapter.
f.. Unable to resolve the DNS name, or the DNS server returned an error.
g.. Corrupted cookies can also cause this issue with Internet Explorer 5.
h.. The Internet Explorer connection settings for the dial-up connection
are configured to use a proxy server.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the appropriate method:
Verify DNS Server Settings
Verify your DNS Server settings with your network administrator, and make
sure the DNS servers are working properly.
Rename the Additional Wsock32.dll Files
1.. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
2.. In the Named box, type wsock32.dll, and then click Find Now.
3.. Rename any copy of the Wsock32.dll file that is not located in the
Windows\System folder. To rename a file, right-click it, type the new file
name, and then press ENTER.
Replace the Wsock32.dll File
1.. Restart Windows 95, press the F8 key when you see the "Starting
Windows 95" message, and then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the
Startup menu. For Windows 98, restart your computer, press and hold down the
CTRL key after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and
then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.
2.. Rename the Wsock32.dll file in the Windows\System folder to
Wsock32.old Note that this assumes you do not have a file named Wsock32.old.
If you do have a file by this name, use a file name extension that is not
currently in use.
3.. Restart Windows 95/98 normally.
4.. Extract a new copy of the Wsock32.dll file from your original Windows
95/98 CD-ROM or floppy disks into the Windows\System folder. For information
about how to extract a file, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
129605 How to Extract Original Compressed Windows Files

5.. Restart your computer.
Viewing a File (file://) You Do Not Have Permissions to View
Contact your system administrator to obtain permissions to view the
appropriate file.
Connection Problems, Low Resources, Dropped Connections
If you have connection problems, or dropped connections, try again until you
successfully establish a good connection. If your computer's system
resources are low, close uneeded programs, or restart your computer.
Corrupted Cookies
The workaround is to delete the contents of the Cookies folder, but doing
this may cause you to lose customization on some Web sites. You may want to
move the contents of the Cookies folder temporarily, try connecting to the
Internet, and then move the cookies back a few at a time to determine which
ones are corrupted.
Reconfigure the Proxy Server Settings in Internet Explorer
To reconfigure your proxy server settings:
1.. In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2.. Click the Connections tab.
3.. Select the dial-up connection, and then click the Settings button.
4.. Clear the Automatically detect settings and Use proxy server check
boxes are not selected.
Remove the Winsock 2 Update
Remove the Winsock 2 update by running the C:\Windows\Ws2bakup\Ws2bakup.bat
file. For additional information, click the article number below to view the
