i have xp pro and the internet does not work at all while using IE 6.0 but i can use netscape 4.79 with minimal problems, except that netscape thinks the date is june 19th, while it is actually june 30th. ill go to a page like msn.com and the date says june 19th. also ill go to espn.com and it again says june 19th on the page. i cannot view updated webpages with netscape. if i try and use IE 6.0 i get an error that says: currently unavailible, refresh, check DNS settings. ya know the drill. but the date on my computer says june 30th, like it should. i dont know whats up. if you have any ideas please let me know. thanks in advance.

But users report that the Microsoft-sanctioned technique doesn't always work, and have found other workarounds. You'll have to do some poking around among the results returned by this link in order to find a solution that matches your specific situation (there's no universal
answer, alas).
