    Red face ICS and unknown host

    After installing ICS in my Windows 98SE PC I can't send/receive mail or surf. It is possible to make a internet connection, but pinging to a www address does not work either. All settings are correct. I have several providers, the problem is the same with all. It suggest a DNS problem??
    This is quite a problem for me!

    You might be able to resolve this by just removing all networking components, rebooting, and reinstalling them.

    Question

    I uninstalled and re-installed my modem, uninstalled and re-installed Dial-up, in the hosts.sam file no entries are present, and using Internet Explorer still gives:
    Cannot find server or DNS Error
    Internet Explorer

    If possible I don't want to re-install Win98.
    Solutions??

    Yes, I can make an internet connection, but I just can't surf or get my mail. But I can ping to IP addresses, not www.etc names.

    Ok we still need to know if this is the modem set or not? Also do you have a static ip if so you need your dns servers listed. X

    Yes, the modem is set and IP is not static.

    Worse: I formatted my c-drive, re-installed win98, reinstalled modem (internal motorola), according to windows modem is properly installed and now get: no dialtone!

    Man this is going down hill now. First get modem problem strait. If you use phone dialer does modem work? can it dial a local number? If not start trouble shooting modem change phone cable to modem and verify phone drop is hot. Then get back to us. X
