Re: Computer will not find DNS automatically...

You have several choices. Lets start with the simple. From the command
prompt type ipconfig /flushdns that will flush your dns resolver cache.
Check your hosts file for anything suspicious it is located
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. Rebuild your TCP/IP stack use Winsock fix
to do this http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html. If it still does
not work then check for spyware. Download, install, update and run all of
the following.

Ad-Aware

Spybot search and destroy

Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta1)

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to the group so that
it can be analyzed.
