When I use dial up from my laptop (Compaq Armada E500) using the defualt modem I can't access
any website. I can browse with the LAN connection from my office.
Dial up access used to work till two weeks back and I can't recollect of any config changes.
I tried applying the SP3 to resolve the problem but it did not solve the problem.
The only application work is MSN Messenger. I can chat with my contacts but can't go to the chat room.
The dial up connection is alright and I get connected. I tried with two service providers and I get the same problem.
Even the ftp fails to connect to any ftp site and it says "unknown server".
When I use the IE and try to browse "http://www.microsoft.com", it fails with an error message "IE can't find the site or something similer to this error".
But I can access the webpage if I give the IP address of the webserver.
If I use nslookup manually it can resolve the name to IP Address.
It looks as if the applications cannot resolve the IP address from the names.
Can somebody please suggest what could be wrong?
