Hi,

  I am strugling with the following issue for the past 4 days with my
dialup internet connection.

  For the past 4 days, when I try open any (valid) web page (after
doing a successful internet connection) from my Windows 2000 operating
system, the following message is displayed in my Internet Expolrer 6.
   The page cannot be displayed
   :
   :
   Cannot find server or DNS Error
   Internet Expolrer

Also I couldnt retrive or send any emails from my Windows 2000 Outlook
Express 6, which says the error message like it couldnt able to
connect to the pop3 and smtp servers, even though the internet
connection is existing.

I didnt do any install/uninstall in my system for the past 3-4 weeks
I am having all the latest security updates adviced by microsoft
I am having the latest virus update in my Norton Antivirus corporate
Edition

After the problem occured
1. I re-created my dialup conection and with the new connection also i
am getting the same problems.
2. I re-installed the TCP/IP and with the newly installed TCP/IP
protocol, i am getting the same problems.
3. I am able to 'ping'/'tracert' all valid IPs
4. But I couldnt be able to ping domain names (eg. www.yahoo.com)
5. When I tried to 'nslookup', it says, it couldnt resolve the names
of the DNS IPs provided by the ISP and also not able to locate the
default DNS IP.

Also
When I checked thru ipconfig /all, I found the IP address of the
DNS server and and I am able to ping the IP address and tracert it. It
gives two DNS IP addresses and I also tried in manually setting the IP
address for Primary and secondary DNS servers. But with now change in the result.


What might be the possibe issue?
I request you to help me.

With Regards
R.Padmakumar

Is your Windows 2000 machine directly connected to the internet or does it
go through a server or someo other device
