I can ping sites but browsers unable to open sites. Checked all settings. Restarting computer opens all sites for around half hour then all sites refuse to open. Operating system windows XP with & without service pack 2. This problem doesnot occur in Windows 98.

Just because you can PING an IP address doesn't mean that there's a web server behind that address. There are plenty of addresses that will respond to PING but will not serve web pages.

It shouldnt be possible...\nTry start run type "cmd" enter, black window up and type "ping www.yahoo.com" enter, if time < 100ms, and no request time out you should be fine.\nCheck cable connect to modem, \ninstall anti-virus software and update it to latest, do full system scan.

try rebooting your machine \n\nif it doesnt help, upgrade your browser to latest patch level\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/default.mspx

It's been often problematic using firefox for opening different web site. There could be one of many reasons.\na. Browser is not set to accept cookies.\nb. If website has some content which doesn't allow browser to open web successfully. Those contents could be having windows media link, not having plugin to open a particular site.\n\nHope you will identify and rectify your problem considering reasons mentioned above.\n\nGood luck

Need more info, but try this. Restart computer. Open IE. Click on tools, internet options. Delete cookies. Then delete files. Close IE. Open Ie and try again.

it's  'server overload.'\n\nwait awhile and get back on-normally works fine.

Make sure you're using Internet Explorer from Microsoft.  Although I prefer Mozilla Firefox as my browser, here and there I can't open some webpages.

download mozilla firefox from www.firefox.com or www.download.com it will fix the problem for sure. If it doesnt then it  must be your internet connection blocking the website from being accessed.

make sure that you are using same IP range in both the router. ( IE. 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 ) with 255.255.255.0 same subnet. if you are using different range other one it might cause you this problem.\n\nare you able to ping that node ( PC )\n\nhave you installed all services in all PC.\n\nare you using firewall ( third party firewall ) in any PC.\n\nit would be easy for me to give you correct solution if you can provide more details.

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps

Possibly a cache problem.\n\nHold <ctrl> and press <f5> to load from the server bypassing your browser cache.

There are a few possibilities. If it was general slowness, and not getting stuck after connecting, there would be a lot more, but I'll stick with the obvious ones for just connecting to the internet.\n\n(1) Most likely is Spyware. Run a check, preferably with more than one tool. You can get Ad-Aware SS and Spybot S&D from http://www.download.com/ but the best overlooked free tool is Pest Patrol from the Yahoo! toolbar. All free.\n\n(2) A virus. AVG is the best free Virus scanner---If you don't have a current updated virus program, check it out. Some viruses will wait for you to have an internet connection and use your computer as a spam or attack machine without you knowing.\n\n(3) Interference with a security program. Make sure your Firewall/Security program AND IE version are totally up to date, and this problem rarely happens. Try disabling the security program and see if the problem starts.\n\nIf these things don't help, try using an alternate browser, like Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/ Best of luck!

you can go to tools, internet options and try changing the webpage from there. if it doesnt work, try this- click on the programs tab and then reset websettings.

I just want to clear some doubts about your question.\n\n1) If you have a windows domain, there must be a DNS server. It may be an Active directory integrated DNS or a Stand Alone DNS. So check all servers wheather they have DNS.\n\n2) If all the other servers dont have any issue with logging in, then how can you say that this issue will be solved by configuring an additional DNS. \n\n3) No need for a confusion about the IP used for DNS. It must be a priviate IP not the IP of the ISP. The DNS inside your lan is used for resolving your local addresses. The DNS address specified in the ethernet card of the ISP is for resolving the website addrsses to ips while browsing. \n\nI dont think that placing a DNS will solve the issue. Check the DNS address entered in the Problamatic Server. If that entry is wrong, it may cause a delay. Check wheather any service is causing any errors in startup.\n\nAny help, just shout.\n\nShaba!

1st thing which os are you using is you are still using win98 then  :( and if you are using win2000 or winxp the just click on run and type cmd and press enter and then type cd&#92; and press enter and then try to run the command you waan to (ex) ping 192.168.1.1 -t . see what is the result. or u system must be in user mode and not in administrator mode .
