I have read all of the threads concerning connecting to the internet in XP Pro. This is a clean install. Reformatted the drive. No matter how I set the connections, either auto detect or manually configure the IP,default gateway and the DNS. No Joy. I have done the winsockfix and nothing. I can ping the router and I can ping outside the router. It tries to connect but gets about halfway onto a site,i.e., banner and background loads but then I get a DNS error.Three other computers in the house are fine. I have checked the router, modem and the hub and all are fine.I have lowered all the security settings and the firewall in XP is not on. This is a real hair puller
