Network access problem

Don't know if this is the proper forum but it seemed the closest.

Running Win98 2nd Ed. Connected to a cable modem. Since having to re-install Win98, am able to ping an IP address but not it's www equivalent. Nor can I access any web sites via Explorer or Netscape.

It is not a DNS problem since when another computer is connected to same modem, both pings are fine and am able to use Explorer and Netscape.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It is a DNS problem. But not with the modem or the provider. The PC that can ping by IP only has the problem.

Have a look at the solutions in:

"Internal Error Occurred" Error Message Using Internet Explorer (Q188952)

The section titled The Winsock2 Key in the Registry Is Damaged often fixes such a problem.

 

Many thanks, Kevin. That did the trick.
