RE: IE 6 will not load--"Can not findserver"

couple questions:

1) your using a linksys wireless router of some sort? do you know how to
enter your webpage manager for it http://192.168.1.1 and login? the
default user name is admin and password is blank or the username is blank
and the password is password or admin or administrator something like that.
When you enter this webpage, you will see an "ipconfig" for it where it will
show your external ip address , gateway and dns servers , paste those here
as well.

2) when you browser to http://www.yahoo.com and go to mail it works fine?

3) are there any odd entries in c;\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file
when you open it in notepad?

4) im assuming in control panel > network connections > lan connection >
properties > tcp ip > properties that you have "obtain ip address
automatically on"?
