How can this be?

My Windows 2000 pro PC is connected to the internet (Local Area
Connection 2 Status icon shows "Connected" with a speed of 10.0 Mbps,
whether I use Shared Networking or Virtual Switch). However, my
Internet Explorer always gives me the "The Page Cannot be Displayed". I
cannot PING anything, and when I check my Event logs this is the sort
of response I get:

Error: The master browser has received a server announcement from the
computer POWERBOOK80 that believes that it is the master browser for
the domain on transport NetBR_T cpip_{2DCC974B-B3DC-43. The master
browser is stopping or an election is being forced. Source: MRxSmb

Warning: The DNS Client service could not contact any DNS servers for a
repeated number of attempts. For the next 30 seconds the DNS Client
service will not use the network to avoid further network performance
problems. It will resume its normal behavior after that. If this
problem persists, verify your TCP/IP configuration, specifically check
that you have a preferred (and possibly alternate) DNS server
configured. If the problem continues, verify network conditions to
these DNS servers or contact your network administrator. Source:

There is obviously some conflict between my Mac (POWERBOOK80) and my PC
IE browser that prevents the IE browser from finding the DNS server. I
have DNS and server addresses set to "automatic".

Connection Preference: Never dial
EnableHttp1.1: 1
ProxyHttp1.1: 0

LAN settings

AutoConfigProxy: wininet.dll
AutProxyDetectMode: Enabled
Proxy: Disabled

An ipconfig/all command in Shared Networking gives me:

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Host Name MACWINDOWS
Primary DNS Suffix:
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2

I have read all the Microsoft kb's on the subject and tried all they
suggest, but to no avail. My patience is wearing thin so if there is
anyone out there who could help set me straight on this I would be
eternally grateful.

I should add that I am running VPC 7.0.2 on the latest OS 10.4.7 on a
PowerBook through a
D-Link router on a broadband ethernet connection.



Add a DNS server in Windows.

4.2.2.2 is a public DNS server owned by Yahoo.com and works quite well
in VPC.

The steps to do this are in the link below:

Thanks Paul, I did what you suggest but the IE still cannot find a web
page.

However, I kept adding 4.2.2.2 as my DNS and WINS server, although I
note that the Stanford case uses different addresses at the end (i.e.
when adding WINS servers etc.)

The above logs suggest that my problem is some sort of conflict between
my Mac and the PC IE, both of which claim to be the "Master Browser".

Any further ideas?
