DNS problem
I'm working on someone's computer trying to get the internet to work. The only way I have been able to get it to pull up any webpages is to type in the actual IP address of the website. I know it is a DNS resolving issue on the computer itself. I flushed the dns cache but there was no change. I'm scratching my head on this one. Anyone have any ideas?

Everything is dynamic. An IP address is assigned to the computer and I even renewed and refreshed the IP settings. I'm not familiar with ISPFIX. I'll have to check that out. This is actually the second problem on the machine. The first, which could be related is that it was running extremely slow and the computer was displaying an err msg: "corrupted or missing windows/config/system.log file." I ran a chkdsk /f /r and fixed that issue. I guess it is possible one thing caused both problems.

Have you checked IP configuration to see what DNS servers are being used? I have had this issue a few times lately, especially with people using Comcast. Here's what I did: Change the DNS address to use OpenDNS, use these addresses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 Then re-boot the modem/router. Hope this helps you out.

Both LSPFIX and the winsock reset didn't make any difference. I still cannot get online with that computer. Every other computer on my home network works just fine. It is something to do with some corruption in the DNS resolution on the computer itself. Anybody else have any ideas? =)

I am not sure if you tried the following but here is my 2 cents
1> Reset IE make sure proxy is not used. 2> Make sure that the firewall is not doing something weird maybe turn it off for a sec and go to microsoft.com. 3> Restart in safe mode with network support then see if you can surf the internet 4> Create a new local account on the PC and see if you can surf the internet 5> Install Firefox and try surfing with it (I once had where IE was corrupted and firefox worked, I had to remove and reinstall IE or maybe I did a windows repair install cant remember now)
