IE6 was working, now it's not!
For any url I get the page cannot be displayed, cannot find server or DNS
Error.
I've reset all IE6 settings under tools options
I've connected to any ISP and get the same problem.
I've disabled my firewall,

I can connect to MSN Messenger, SMTP/POP3 for email works fine.

XP Home network tests, all pass ok.
I've reset my tcp/ip settings using the netsh int reset command - still no
joy

I would be very grateful for any assistance!

Check for a hosts file problem - it could be the Qhosts trojan.

A full virus scan yields nothing and my pc doesn't exhibit any hallmarks of
this trojan
