Help : Windows 98 and Internet Access

[Kinesis]

Hey folks, just want to see if anyone can give me a clue as to what I may have missed on a computer issue.

Scenario : Adware being installed on a Windows 98 SE System with Norton AV 2003 Installed.
Computer has IP address and can ping the internet sites with no problem, but now IE 6 can not reach a web site. Get page not found!

Any thoughts. I am not sure what could really be the problem except maybe the Automatic Detect Settings Checkbox was missed. As you may have guessed the system is not where I am at the moment, but I will have access to it tomorrow morning.

I am just a little baffled at the Norton & Adware Incompatibility, as I run it now on W2k and Win XP. Oh well..

Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

You might check these fixes out. I've had good luck restoring internet connection errors following the first fix. I've also had spy bot fix dial up connection problems a number of times.

Hey thanks RedBeard, great site. I appreciate the help so much. I was thinking it was the Winsock corruption, but I was not certain I could fix it. Been a long time since Windows had that issue with me.

Thanks
