Hi,

I have a problem with my Internet connection, before it was working fine, but lately i cannot open web pages at all. I can see that i have connection as a litlle icon says connected at 28.00, and i can use MSN massenger, but i can not open any web sites. Everything started after i shuted down the pc without closing Internet connection. Maybe smth changed there.

I did "ipconfig \all" as it was recomended by help, and here what i got:

Primary DNS Suffix .............:
Node Type .......................: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled ............: No
WINS Proxy Enabled...............: No

PPP adapter inter:

Connection-spesific DNS suffix .....:
NetBios over TCPIP ......: Diabled

I got my ip adress as well, but i did not get DNS, as in help file they said i need it to check my connection, and i had to ping it.

What could be the problem, if you need more info i will try to get it, just tell me how to do it.


Thanks.

 
You need the address of at least one DNS server on your ISP's network. Without any DNS settings your browser won't be able to resolve any host names to IP addresses.

Can you please explain how to get that DNS setting.

Thanks
 
Contact the ISP and ask them for the primary and secondary DNS Numbers. They should give those to you without any hesitation.
