KR,

First, empty the Temporary Internet Files via Internet Options in the Control Panel. Click the Delete Files button and put a check in the box next to Delete all offline content. Click OK.

Next, flush the DNS cache. Go to Start, Run, type in
cmd
Click OK or press Enter.
At the Command Prompt type in
ipconfig /flushdns
Press Enter.

If XP SP2 is installed, try rebuilding the Winsock stack. Open a Command Prompt. At the Command Prompt type in
netsh winsock reset
Press Enter.
Restart the system.

If that does not resolve the issue have a look at :

My Internet Explorer has stopped working after about 5 hours of use. I get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed Error" - Cannot find server or DNS is at the bottom of the page.

Email seems to work, other non-MS browsers do not seem to work either, my network connection shows that information is both being received and sent, but I cannot connect with the browser or access other computers on my home network.

I have run VirusScan, Spybot, Adaware, and MS Antispy in safe mode. Usually find a few cookies with the antispyware but nothing else.

As soon as I reboot the computer it works fine again.

Any help would be appreciated.
