internet connection

[tswindells]

hi. after downloading a file share sys last night, i was
setting it up when it aborted. after that i couldn't get
onto the internet via IE. i was however able to use my
email (outlook) so my connection was still there. after a
while outlook couldn't get a connection and when re-
booting the sys it would come up with lots of the
installation promts as if i were about to install
something. after they stopped my modem (usb
connection) was ejected.

i then uninstalled the flie share sys and deleted
everything connected with it but still the problem
continued.

i have kazaa installed and have done for ages. with this
i was able to acess the internet through its browser for
a while until all internet connection was lost

after i try to access the internet, press home, it says
at the very top of the page
C:\WINNT\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror

cheers

What OS and IE version do you have ?

Try a reinstall of IE.

Did you get it from the official site or somewhere else? If the latter it is always possible that you have a virus. If you have any antivirus software run that. If you don't use one of the several online ones, you don't have to download anything for that.

Yeah go to www.antivirus.com (http://www.antivirus.com/) and do a scan, hmm if you can :confused:

Check your dial-up/broadband settings. You may find that your IP addressing has been screwed. DNS is a funny thing, and Windows 2000 caches DNS for awhile, so this 'could' explain why some stuff worked for a short time afterwards.
