I'm not the 1st to report this. I get a DNS Error message in IE6, can't get
anywhere. Firefox and other software (Agent) work fine. I tried lspfix (no
problem found) and winsockXPfix with no luck. Do I give up on IE???

Reset the Internet security zone to its default setting, make sure to
close all instances of IE (check the Processes tab in Task Manager to
make sure there are no instances of iexplore.exe), reload IE, and test
again.

Use BHO Demon to see what BHOs (browser helper objects) you have
installed that will modify IE's behavior or add functionality. Spybot
S&D also has a BHO utility to list them but BHO Demon is better, plus
they maintain a database to provided info on the known BHOs.

If Firefox is working then the problem never was with a Layered Service
Provider (LSP) chained into your TCP layer. If it was broken, Firefox
wouldn't work, either.

Did you yet purge IE's temp file cache, including offline content? Have
you tried purging your cookies.
 
I just ran BHODemon, it only found 4 benign objects ( Adobe and Norton).
One thing though, "Deafaul" is not an option, i.e. not highlightec in the
security tab of Internet Options. I can customize, but can't select default.

I appreciate your help.

Have you ran the anti-virus and malware scans already mentioned by PA
