If you read post #107083 you see what my problem is. I did not get the help that I needed. If someone could advise me of a web site, anything, where I can obtain this info. It is apparently something in the configuration and I don't have the knowledge/ability to straighten this PC out. No matter what I have tried I get the same or similar error messages depending on the browser that I have installed. Something is lacking in my Windows configuration. I would appreciate any/all help I can get please.

Rusty, I read your first post and have a few questions. Are you able to dial out and get a connection through AOL? If so, what happens when you try browsing through AOL? It's my understanding that AOL is its own browser, and you cannot use IE or Netscape when connected through AOL, but I could be wrong. Post back and tell us more about what you're doing exactly.

can you connect to the internet with aol? do you get the exact same error when you try netscape and internet explorer?doig a little searching it seems to be a problem with netscape. http://help.vpi.net/netscapehelp/html/no_dns_entry_err.html http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/19960513 -33.html http://itexpress.ucdavis.edu/help/troubleshooting.shtml

Yes Brent that first post was a little confusing, you can use IE with aol.....netscape too, but netscape doesn't work as well as IE with aol

Brent/Gregg, I can use the "AOL" browser. On my lap top I have both IE/Netscape along with the AOL browser and they all work together. I've never had a problem such as this. Whenever I have downloaded a new AOL or Internet Explorer/Netscape they all would configure and work well together. The error message that I receive are very similar, depending on which browser I attempt to use. They all seem to pertain to no being able to make the modem connect, however, the AOL browser works fine. I hope I answered all your questions and made things more clear.

Thanks Gregg, I admit that I have to plead ignorance when it comes to the intricacies of AOL. Rusty- Found this in the Microsoft Knowledgebase, not sure if it addresses your problme with IE or not: Cannot Browse Internet Using IE While Connected to AOL

I think I understand now. You are already online and you are getting messages telling you: Unable to locate Server. Server does not have a DNS entry. Did you try Brent's link to microsoft? I saw you metioned in your first post that you thought it may be a winsock dll error did you get a winsock error message? Here is a download for win/95/sockets update. It certainly won't hurt to try that first , it's possible yours may be corrupted http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp If that doesn't helpI would uninstall IE and netscape. Then only try one of them to see if we can if you can get one browser at a time working for a few days. I
