1st thing to do is to verify that your DNS is working.
Go to a DOS prompt and ping 199.0.0.1. If you get replies, you're talking on the Internet. Then try pinging (or other website you know responds to pings - does not). We're not interested in the ping reply, rather the name resolution. You should see:
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>ping

Ping statistics for 64.15.247.200:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 27ms, Maximum = 41ms, Average = 34ms
The IP address: 64.15.247.200 tells you that your DNS is working. If it does not return an IP and ping fails, you have a DNS problem. The fact that Netscape isn't working either tells me that it's your DNS. If you're running through a router, and using the router's IP as your DNS, try getting your ISP's DNS IP info and putting that into your network config.

If i ping to any ip address like 64.15.247.200 it gives reply. But not for address like " I'm on the DHCP network & from other system the net is working. I have tried with a static entry of ip add/gateway/dns as well a dialup internet account but no use.
Obviously, it's not your browser. If you're using DHCP, remove all static entries. Let the DHCP server supply the DNS. Check to see what DNS ip you get by running WINIPCFG (win9x) or IPCONFIG from a DOS prompt. Check the other machines and see if they have the same DNS. If all else fails, remove your network config and start over. Remove *everything* - make sure you know what to put back (WINS, etc.). Just curious... you have AOL installed?

I don’t have AOL. And I’ll tell u what all I have tried.
1. I have tried with DHCP only.
2. All static (ip/dns/etc.)[Here in ping it resolves the ip add i.e. ping is giving me ip of yahoo but not able to brows with host name or ip add]
3. Remove all network config reinstall.
4. Reinstall ie
5. Replace wsock32.dll
6. Replace host files.
Nothing works.
