More  likely, all three machines claim to be set to get the addresses of
DNS  servers to use by way of DHCP.  It could be interesting to fire up  the
"Command Prompt" and run "ipconfig /all" to see what server  addresses
they're actually using for DNS....  Maybe the one with the  problem is
getting set differently somehow.


The way the network was originally set up was like this:  dsl modem  -->
router  -->comp1, comp2, comp3, comp4.  The router was set  to use the subnet mask
with ip's 192.168.0.1 thru 192.168.0.6.  The XP comp  IP is .2 and the
non-internet connecting comp is 192.168.0.4.  The  non-internet connecting comp is
seen and shares files over the network.  It  just won't connect to internet via
IE but I can ping yahoo.com.

Now if I can ping yahoo I assume that computer is getting out to the
internet so there won't be any probs with the router, right?  I did command  prompt
ipconfig /all but lost most of the info at top of screen.  I did an  ipconfig
and it came up with:

0 Ethernet Adapter
    IP Address..................:0.0.0.0
    Subnet Mask...............:0.0.0.0
    Default Gateway...........:

1 Ethernet Adapter
    IP Address.................: 0.0.0.0
    Subnet Mask..............: 0.0.0.0
    Default Gateway..........: 0.0.0.0

2 Ethernet Adapter
    IP Address...................: 192.168.0.4
    Subnet Mask................: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway............: 192.168.0.1

Keep in mind there is only one NIC in the computer.  However when I do  the
ipconfig on the XP comp here is what I get:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
    Connection-specific DNS Suffix......: blank
    IP Address...................................:  192.168.0.2
    Subnet Mask................................:  255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway............................:  192.168.0.1

Ethernet adapter Network Bridge:
    Connection-specific DNS Suffix......: blank
    Autoconfiguration IP Address.........:  169.254.91.29
    Subnet Mask................................:  255.255.0.0
    Default Gateway............................:  blank

PPP adapter {bunch of numbers}:
    Connection-specific DNS Suffix........: blank
    IP Address......................................:  172.153.22.174
    Subnet Mask...................................:  255.255.255.255
    Default Gateway...............................:  blank

Back to the ability to ping.  If I can ping to the internet then I  must have
internet access on the comp with IP .4.  So now I'm thinking  something is
amiss in internet explorer and aol.  As I can't access  internet with IE, AOL or
any IM programs.

Any ideas?
