Hi,
I'm just starting to use win2k pro here. I use Adsl to connect to the internet. I can login fine. when i try to open a web app, wheter it's ie, outlook express or a peer to peer, all i get are dns errors "cannot display page" I refresh \ home (ie6 btw) either once, or twice, sometimes a few dozen times, and suddenly everything is available.

i've checked out other questions from people, that were similar, nothing works. I have been using DSl for a while and am familiar with the workings. I am new to win2k tho' and think there's some little setting i'm unaware of causing this annoyance. any ideas?

Go to tools, internet options, connections tab, lan settings, then unselect automatically detect settings.
Hope it helps.
