I currently working on a students 98 machine. I'm trying to get the internet going with our broadband service.
All goes well, Except ie6 cannot display any web pages.
The internet is there, ie I can ping the dns servers (they r there  )
ping ip address of yahoo, techimo etc. but It's not resolving the dns name.
ie. I can't ping www.yahoo.com however I can ping yahoo's IP address. Which leads me to believe it to be DNS problems, I've checked all the settings (not hard considering it's all on dhcp) and checked against test machines we've got monitoring the service.
Has anybody seen a problem like this before of have a clue what might be going on.
I'm baffled 
Cheers

Is it just one workstation or a group of them?
Try this command on the workstation ipconfig /flushdns
edit -> command was a little backwards

Can you connect to websites in IE by their IP address?
If yes, than DNS is hosed. Try using some other one. Maybe one from your ISP or something?
If no, than your WinSock is prolly hosed (Possibly by something like BDE, or New.Net or one of 50 other horrid programs that don't know how to play well with humans and their computers.) | |

*Do not* run a spyware removal tool to get rid of New.Net or BDE. Just a warning. You will regret it. It will totally hose your TCP/IP and/or Winsock2. On machines like Windows 2000 this is a *very* big problem.. It's not nearly as easy to fix under 2k as it is in 98/ME, etc.. =] | |
