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:

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

An ipconfig/all command in Shared Networking gives me:

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:

http://www.stanford.edu/services/ess/pc/docs/ethernet/wxp/dns.html


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?

Can you ping 4.2.2.2 from Windows? If so, can you ping www.yahoo.com?

Cannot ping either of them. See below:

C:\>ping 4.2.2.2

Pinging 4.2.2.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out
Request timed out
Request timed out
Request timed out

Ping statistics for 4.2.2.2:
Packets: Sent = 4. Received = 0, Lost =4 (100% loss)
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

C:\>ping www.yahoo.com
Unknown host www.yahoo.com

As I said, my Local Area 2 Status icon in the Task Bar tells my
"Connected". The problem is that IE cannot find this "Connection" due
to some sort of name conflict or other such where two items compete to
be the "Master Browser".

I looked at my "Event Log" for today (after booting up IE) and it reads:

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 NetBT_Tcpip_(3F146D01-29A9. The master browser
is stopping or an election is being forced. (Source: MRxSmb)

This is followed by a "Warning" that:

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: Dnscache

YESTERDAY (i.e. before I switched to the yahoo proxy), my Event log
gave me the following after trying my IE:

Error: A duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP
address of the machine that sent the message is in the data. Use
nbtstat -n in a command window to see which name is in the conflict
state. Source: NetBT

Warning: The browser has received a server announcement indicting that
the computer MACWINDOWS is a master browser, but this computer is not a
master browser. Source: MRxSub

MACWINDOWS is the name of my Windows2000 VM

When I ran nbtstat -n I got the following:

C:\>nbtstat -n

Local Area Connection 2:

?MSBROWSE? <01> GROUP Resistered

C:\>

I do not know how to interpret this. Maybe you can advise.

Thanks Paul

Do not worry about the browser election at this point. It is NOT
hindering your ability to ping anything. Something on the Mac side is
blocking it (something like Little Snitch?). Anyway, restart your Mac
OS in Safe Boot and then try pinging from Windows.
