Internet Explorer

[GinooKo]

I need help.

I am unable to use my internet explorer in my other computer. I called the cable tech yesterday and he told me that I am able to ping by IP but unable to ping by domain's name and unable to surf by IP or by domain.

I reinstalled the Norton virus today, scanned and all and there is no viruses found. I am still getting the this error message: The page Cannot be displayed, Cannot find server and DNS error.

I'm having the same pronlem, and I hate netscape

Beginning with Windows 98, Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of every Windows operating system. So your two choices are:

1) Reformat and reinstall Windows
2) Use a different browser, such as Mozilla, Netscape or Opera (or Lynx. Just kidding! )

The suspected I have a winsock problem and I may resintall windows again. I'm printing "troubleshooting" off the microsoft website.

Yeah, try Mozilla, its very good indeed. i tried MS IE, but its just too many pop ups and viruses.
So Mozilla, for a clean surfing experience.

Mozilla is the best thing I have found so far.

Mozilla definitely is better, with a lot few errors and freeze ups than IE. Another good thing about it is that it has a built in pop-up feature, where you can also change the settings to allow some pop-ups. Virus wise, well, all computers get viruses. When did your problem begin?? When did IE start to do the weird thing??

Opera 7.50 was just released today! Love it...

Next, I'd give Firefox 0.8 a spin.

Can't see you regretting either choice

Me too! Opera is just too big and fancy.

This is all greek to me. What is Momzilla? Is it like Internet Explorer? If it is, how can I install it to my computer?

 

[UberLutheran]

it sounds like something within the Internet Explorer application is corrupt.

If you're absolutely sure you're virus-free -- and remember, several viruses within the past year have been "back-door" type viruses which come in through open ports, and NOT through email; I would recommend:

1) reinstalling Internet Explorer, along with the components which go along with it; or

2) reinstalling the Windows operating system, then doing all the Windows updates.

I'd be curious to see if you're having problems with other applications which utilize network and Internet services.

LOL! Momzilla!

The stuff is there. I prefer it over IE.

I'm leaning toward the #2 right now.

I attempted to reinstall the internet explorer and have no luck. I don't have any internet connections on that computer at all.

Thanks Jeremiah. See? That's how much I know. It should had been a momzilla. LOL

 

[Heathen Dawn]

What is Momzilla?

Mozilla. It’s a Web browser.

Is it like Internet Explorer?

It does basically the same things as Internet Explorer, only better—more standards-compliant, and free (or open-source, if you will).

If it is, how can I install it to my computer?

Download the Windows version and, after that, double-click on the installer icon.

Thanks Heathen Dawn!!!

 

[Heathen Dawn]

You’re welcome.
