Your ISP's DNS could be down. I liked Todd's answers but I don't
think they apply to dial-up. Winsock gets the DNS address when it
initiates the connection. I would call the ISP for advise. If they're
having a problem they should let you know then.

(HTH)

I connect via dial up to my ISP. I open IE 6.1 and it
errors out with DNS errors. What can I do to fix this?
WHy is it erroring out?

Two things I've seen do this.

1. No DNS server entry in the network properties. Or the DNS server listed is wrong or not available. Or if I recall correctly there is a setting for searching for a DNS server which should pick the ISP's automatically.

2. IE is trying to use a proxy server when there is none or it is wrong. Or, on a PC that formerly connected via proxy server even if IE has that turned off there may still be a proxy service running. Check install/uninstall programs and see if a proxy program is listed and uninstall it if not needed anymore.

Something to try might be to try to access a site directly by the IP address. For www.msn.com it would be 207.68.171.245. See if you can connect without using a DNS server to resolve the IP address by typing that IP into the address line. At least then you would know the rest of the connection is working or not.
