I keep getting a "Dns error" when I try to connect to the internet. I just uninstalled AOL from my computer and that is when all the fun started. IE 5.5 on my computer now. 5.0 on my Office CD. It will not let me replace. Any way to download 6 and burn to CD without self installation? Anyone know how to correct DNS Error? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
