Domain names fail to access the internet, ip addresses work ok
I am trying to assist a friend, They have Windows XP home.
When using internet explorer they cannot access the internet by typing a domain name. If an ip address is typed into the command bar then access works ok, however no links work as they are all in the form www.etc etc. Using the command prompt is the same, type a domain name and it fails. use an IP address and all works fine. Can anybody assist in fixing this problem? Cheers =?Utf-8?B?c3RlZXJwaWtl?= |

RW: Domain names fail to access the internet, ip addresses work ok
It almost sounds like a Zone problem. Go into the Internet Options and
check the Internet Security level under the security tab. Look around while you're in there at the Trusted and Restricted Sites and the Privacy Policies.

RE: Domain names fail to access the internet, ip addresses work ok
Is there any error messages when facing that issue? If not, try reloading the
ie. I believe It has to do with static IP or your internet connection LAN/ proxy settings. Otherwise u having DNS issues, contact the administrator of the site that you are having problems with. It may require an upgrade to the DNS server product or a changes in the configuration of the DNS server. ===-- "steerpike" wrote: > I am trying to assist a friend, They have Windows XP home. > When using internet explorer they cannot access the internet by typing a > domain name.
