Go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services - and make sure DNS Client is in the "Started" mode.

 

[WarranT]

i can onl select:

manual

automatic

or disabled

its on disabled

what should i put it to?

and after i do it..should i restart?

 

[Friend of Bill]

Select Automatic then apply then start

 

[damnyank]

I think you are looking in the wrong column - but if ya looking where I think ya are - it needs to be in auto.

Ya better wait for SnookBooger's reply though!

[edited] ya beat me SnookBooger [edited]

 

[WarranT]

i did that and it still dont work.......


should i restart?

 

[WarranT]

just restarted.......

still dont work

 

[Friend of Bill]

In Services right click DNS Client and press Start. If that doesn't work I don't know what is up. There should be no need to reboot Windows though.

 

[WarranT]

hmmm still dont work grrrrrrr :-(

does anything else in services need to be on?


cause i disabled quite a few things from their....since i dont use em

http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm , thats where it showed me what i need and dont need

 

[damnyank]

Don't know if it is too late or not - but did you try a system restore to a point "before" ya disabled any services???

I mean at this point I don't think it could hurt.

Also blackviper's info is normally right on the money - did ya get one (a setting) wrong by chance??

Just trying to give ya more to look at.

Anything else ya might have changed that ya didn't mention before???

 

[WarranT]

naaa i dont like system restore so i disabled it.......

 

[damnyank]

okay!

You think that's bad, look how my line has been degrading for the past three days. The problem lies with RoadRunner. They are aware of the problem but haven't fixed it yet. Anything over 80ms for cable connection is unacceptable.

WarranT aint the only one having this issue.
Recently I have had the same thing happen. So far it affects only certain sites.

Thought it was the router. It is not currently on the router (Thanks to an electrical problem in my apt.) I am on a straight through hook up. No change.
I have tried every trick I can find. Even to reinstalling IE 6.
No change. Taking classes on Networking and the instructor said he never heard of this.

I have also played with security settings (Both IE and Zone Alarms) also shut down Zone Alarm. No dice.

Emptied Temporary internet files/ and cookies. I am out of Ideas.
If any one can come up with a solution. It is appreciated
