StaticInAttic Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 I have a pc that using a dial up isp, connects to the isp. When IE is clicked I get a DNS error. I can ping the ip address of the isp and get areply back. When I ping the dns ip no reply. I got all the ip addresses by using ipconfig /all, in a command prompt.
Aaron Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 Has this happened for long? Your ISP's DNS servers are probably temporarily down.P.S. How did you get here if your DNS is down?
StaticInAttic Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 I know for a fact that they are not down
Jono Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 maybe he edited his host file using one of the net accelaration programs that adds commonly used sites to your host file that way the need for a dns server is eliminated that would also tie in with him being on 56k otherwise i dont see how he would get here :S
HyDeNCiTy Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Sorry Jono I vow to never ask stupid questions again, lol
Jono Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 i just no from experience that using them programs does that because when i was on 56k i tried everything to get that little extra speed but now i am in the land of the true internet
HyDeNCiTy Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Maybe he just needs to get off 56K... lol So antiquated! lol
MadGutts Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Windows 98 doesn't like DNS very much...But if your online, then update your version of IE... it could have been currupted.
