" internet explorer could not open the search page" shouldn't show up when you open a Command Window.

What happens if you do this:

Start
Run
Type in cmd
Hit Enter
Type in ipconfig /all
Hit Enter

Is the machine set to obtain through DHCP? Are you on a network at home or at work?

You must figure out WHY you don't have an IP address. Can't get to the Internet without one. :-)

Does the DHCP in the ipconfig read Yes?
