I would be getting a squid error message, but no, I didn't get that either. Additionally, I'm running a squid web proxy server, so if there was a DNS error, I wouldn't be getting the IE error message. I should be getting DNS name resolution at the 100 Mb of the local LAN. Since I'm running a caching DNS server on the Linux firewall, this made no sense to me what so ever. I also had a heck of a time using POP3 to pull down mail messages from the Linux mail server (also on the firewall). I then got the maddening DNS error or server not found error message. When I first installed XP SP2, I immediately turned off the firewall because I already have a Linux firewall protecting the LAN. If the above doesn't work, post the info that the ipconfig command did report. That should show DHCP to enabled, and should list your IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, and DNS server addresses. Once the computer reboots, you can see if it picked up its IP info automatically by opening a DOS box (MS-DOS Prompt) and typing the following command: Reboot just to make sure your changes take effect. Go to the Connections tab and click the "LAN Settings." button make sure the "automatically detect settings option there is checked.
Open your Internet Options control panel. Check the "tomatically" options for both the IP and DNS settings.Ĭlick OK in the Properties window and again in the Network Connections window. In the General tab of the Properties window, double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" entry. Open your Network Connections, right-click on the Local Area Connection, and choose Properties from the resulting menu.
If your computer connects directly to your cable modem, it's most likely that you're supposed to be getting all of your IP info from your service provider automatically via the DHCP protocol.
