DNS Error after lost connection during IE auto update.
Winsock 2 problem?
I was letting the IE auto update do it's thing when I lost my cable connection. It corrupted IE somehow where now all I get is a page not found and a DNS error.
Netscape and Firefox work fine so it's not a router or cable modem glitch I don't think.
Here is the error I'm getting,
://C:WINDOWSsystem32shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#
I click a link and it goes to the right page but then goes to a page not found screen with http:/// in the address bar.
I've searched the web and some say it's a Winsock 2 problem and some say it's a page hijack or adware. Some say it's a security update to IE that got corrupted.
I've swept the computers with Norton AV, Hijack this, SpyWare Blaster, Search & Destroy and there is no current adware or spyware that I can find with current defintions.
I tried the Windows repair IE tool, unistalled from IE 6.0 back to IE 5.0 and then back again to IE 6.0 but no luck.
I haven't reinstalled W2K yet but I wonder if that would fix my corrupted Winsock 2 files if that is indeed the problem. Would I lose my current settings and files if I reinstall W2K over the top of the current W2K OS on the puter?
Any network DNS gurus out there? Thanks for any help
