Create a new shortcut on your desktop with this command line:

C:\WINDOWS\WINIPCFG.EXE

Call it "System IP Configuration". Go back into Properties and set it
to run maximized.

Call your ISP technical service and read them the values you see when you run
this command. Also go to Control Panel and then to the Network icon. Ask
your ISP how this should be configured.

DNS stands for "Domain Name Server". It is possible, but not likely, that
the domain name for your ISP has not cleared the registration process.

You can always enter the IP address (in numeric form 999.999.999.999 directly
instead of using an alphabetic name. Then, no table lookup is involved.

If "push comes to shove" you can create your own DNS local directory in the
"hosts" file on your own computer. This is accessed first, and thus overrides
any external DNS server. Here is a good web page that describes the process:

It was set up to show how to kill ads, but the process would be valid for
your problem, also.

I guess webbrowsing will work, so your browser is resolving dns names.

Do you have a proxy or firewall?

My provider is using proxy server 2.
