Hi dechomai
I am running windows 2000 Service Pack 4 with Internet
Explorer 6.0 and the latest service pack. Internet
browser is extremely slow and many times I get can not
connect to page or DNS error. I checked the DNS and is
fine. What could cause something like this?
I'll appreciate your help.
Try the following and see if it helps:

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

The temporary I.E. files folder is a cache for web pages that you have
visited. I don't know why Microsoft sets the default so high, but I have
seen 2gb set for storage. This and other setting can be changed to decreace
the size of the storage area, and supposedly delete the I.E. temp file when
you close the browser.

Temporary means Temporary. Ones in the regular TEMP environmental
variable folders can be cleaned out as soon as the program that uses
them exits. It is advisable not to do this automatically at the
'autoexec' level, because some software installs leave some files
there for use when the system reboots. But I have a 'clean it up'
batch file that I run in the registry HKLM Run key
TIF and Cookies are in separate folders.
But in XP if you open TIF either direct in Explorer or via the TIF
Settings button - 'view files' in Internet Options, the contents of
Cookies is included. They are not deleted though if you use the
'Delete files' in Internet Options - there is a separate Delete
Cookies button.
(Aside - the above Delete Files and Delete Cookies buttons are also in
the IE6 and IE SP1 on the Tools | Internet Options | General tab)
