I have been trying to help someone with a similar problem, ping of yahoo
works fine, Outlook Express works also but any address tried in IE result in
a "Page cannot be found". This is a dialup to earthlink and I have had him
try some of your suggestions to no avail. I am wondering about your
instructions for reinstalling IE. In the Windows XP control panel, if I go
to add/remove programs there is no Internet Explorer in the list under
"Currently installed programs". The only thing that resembles it in this
line "Internet Explorer Q824145 size 1.23mb used occasionally last used
7/11/2003". How can it be repaired if I can't remove it?

> Determine if it's a DNS issue. Go to Start-Run,
> type "command", click "Ok". Type "ping 216.115.108.245", hit "enter", then
> type "ping yahoo.com". The reason I use yahoo.com is because they accept

> 216.115.108.245, this will not require any DNS resolution and should open
up
> just fine to www.yahoo.com.
> If that works, then you may want to change the DNS server you are using.
In

choose

> DNS", input a primary DNS

>
> 6) Enternet 300 communication bug
> If you cannot ping an IP address(216.115.108.245, this is yahoo and they
do
> accept pings), then it's not a DNS resolution issue, but a communication
> issue. Enternet 300 will sometimes have a communication bug in its
Advanced
> Settings. In Enternet 300, go to Connections-Settings-
> Advanced, make sure that Private API and Filter Driver are chosen. If they
> are not chosen, change your current settings to Private API and Filter
> Driver, click "Ok", click "Ok", right-click on the 2 little computer
> monitors in the bottom right corner, click on "Exit", reconnect and
> try to browse. If this doesn't work, change the Advanced Settings to
> DHCP/Filter Driver, DHCP/Protocol Driver, or Private API/Protocol Driver.
>
> 7) Repair your browser
> If you can ping domain names and IP addresses, then you may have a few
> corrupt Internet Explorer files. On older versions of Internet Explorer,
you
> will not have the repair browser option in Add/Remove Programs. Go to
> Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs, double-click
> on Internet Explorer, chooose "Repair Browser", click "Ok", and reboot.
>
> 8) Firewalls
> If you are running a firewall such as Zonealarm or Black Ice Defender, it
> may not be configured properly. Try disabling the firewall. If that
doesn't
> work try uninstalling the software. If you can browse, then check the
> Firewall manufacturer's website for any PPPOE or DSL
> specific settings in their FAQ or support section before reinstalling. A
> firewall will work with DSL but if it's not configured properly then you
> will have browsing issues.
>
> If you have Zonealarm and Windows 2000, you should allow "Internet
> Information Services" and "Services and Controller app" (both windows
> services) access to the
> internet. If these services are blocked, you won't be able to surf.

> winsock registry keys have become corrupted. If you can ping domain names
> and ip addresses, then your Winsock may be corrupted and you won't be able
> to browse even by IP address(http://216.115.108.245 will
