Hi,
I'm running Windows 98se (all patches), IE6 (all patches) and my ISP is AOL (Version 5) dial up, HP8665C pc, 30gb harddrive and 256mb memory.
When using IE on certain pages (broadband forums, HP forums and a few other sites) I get the page cannot be displayed and at the bottom is "cannot find server or dns error". I can immediately access that site with the AOL browser. I also want to mention that if, using the standalone IE, I first go to www.anonymizer.com and put the address in their address bar I can access the site!
I've been to a few forums and AOL help and haven't been able to resolve this problem. Due to settings AOL had me do in October I had to remove IE and also remove AOL, and recently I followed a setting they gave me in the AOL adapter and I wasn't able to access any sites in either browser!
I am not running a firewall. I don't have any hosts file except hosts.sam and LMHosts.sam. In IE settings the check for proxy box is unchecked. My Wsock32.dll is 40kb and version 4.10.1998.
When I removed and reinstalled my AOL adapter yesterday I got a message about Version Conflict re snmpapi.dll - my version 5.00.2195.5513. It asked do you want to keep this file - I said yes. I'm assuming I was saying yes to my version. I now have my version in C\Windows and C\Windows\Options\Cabs but I have version 4.0 in C\Windows\System and version 5.00.1662.1
in C\Windows\AOL5.0\net\win98.se. I don't know if this version conflict could be causing a problem, and again, I can access these sites in the AOL browser but not the standalone IE.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be?
I would appreciate any help.
Sincerely, Libra
