    In news:0Cryd.688$7f3.14@fe07.lga,
    roger steele <rsteele@charter.net> made a post then I commented below
    :: you are correct on your assumption that if you can get to a site via
    :: ip and not
    :: name it is a dns issue.
    :: verify ip of dns on comp by ipconfig /all
    :: make sure its the same as the dsl company
    :: rs

    Actually Roger, that hasn't been discretely determined yet because nslookup
    or ping hasn't been mentioned and assumed hasn't been tried by Whyme (the
    original poster). He has just mentioned only using IE in his diagnosis,
    which is only a part of diagnosing this issue. We'll need to know if ping or
    nslookup can resolve names to diagnose this. If we can find out if ping or
    nslookup will resolve names, then we can rule out a DNS issue.

    If nslookup or ping can resolve names, and IE cannot, then it's an MTU
    problem, which is a very common issue with ADSL.
