The nslookup returned for me the same results. I did run
msinfo32.exe. I do not have the results to post here (I'm
sending this by using my pc at work, and forgot to bring a
copy of the file I created) but I can tell you what I
found: I had a bunch of entries that start
with 'McAfeeXXXX' and then contain in brackets [] a
statement that starts with MSAFD or RSVP. My system had
McAfee security tools installed (a/v and Firewall) but
they have been uninstalled. I was tempted to delete those
McAfee entries but could not see how to do so. Any idea
whether those entries should even be there?

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I too verified
with my ISP that the DNS servers I was getting (and can
ping)are good addresses. So here is the output I got
using nslookup. For good measure I did an ipconfig /all,
and copied the output for that well. My ISP isn't of much
use on this on. Again...thanks for the help.

Mark,
I think that Travis' problem may be slightly different
than yours, even
though the symptoms are the same. There are many
different things that can
cause these same symptoms. There are a couple of things
I'd like you to try
to see if we can narrow it down:
Try running (without the quotes, of course) "nslookup
google.com" at a
command prompt and pasting the response back.
nslookup@google isn't the
right syntaxt.
Did you try the steps I suggested with msinfo32? I've
pasted them here
again so you don't have to dig back through the thread:
Open msinfo32.exe
Expand Components->Network and click on Protocol
Scroll through the list on the right side. You are
looking for anything
with a name that starts with anything besides "MSAFD"
or "RSVP". This
includes things that start with "XXX over MSAFD", etc.
If in doubt, just
post back the whole list (Edit->select All, Edit- Copy).

I have tried everything as well, to no avail. I had my
ISP
on the phone and verified that I was pinging the DNS
servers. They show up fine, are accurate ip addresses
(according to my isp) and respond to the ping. It still
will not resolve any addresses. I tried nslookup@google
last night and it did not resolve, so I'll be looking
for
Travis's response.

Have you checked with your ISP to make sure those
addresses really are DNS
servers? Sometimes an ISP will change the IP
addresses
of their DNS
servers, so it is a good idea to make sure in cases
like
this. Can you copy
and paste the command line output of:
nslookup google.com

I checked my IP configuration, and it is getting DNS
servers assigned. They appear to be valid server IP
addresses, and I can ping them. But no matter what
doamin
address I type in, I immediately get the "Page not
available" error in IE. I cannot ping a domain
address
either. Quite frankly, I am at a loss. Again, any
help
you can give would be appreciated.
-----Original Message-----
In your case Travis, since you say nslookup didn't
work,
it sounds as if
there is something wrong with your DNS servers, or
your
ability to reach
them. Do an "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt
and
check with your ISP
to make sure that the entries listed under "DNS
Servers"
are all correct.
If you do not have any DNS Servers listed then
that is
definately the
problem.
If the DNS servers listed are correct, try to ping
the
IP addresses listed
for DNS servers. If you are unable to ping them,
try
to
use "tracert"
instead of ping to help isolate where the
connectivity
is breaking down.
If you have any questions or need more info, post
back
here in a reply to
this thread.

I am having the same exact problem. I followed
the
suggestions listed. I was not able to get to any
sites
using the nslookup function("Unable to find
name") In
the
Protocol list, I have several entries
with "MSAFD" in
the
name, and a few with "RSVP". Most of the entries
with
MSAFD seem to have something to do with McAfee
VirusScan
(tried disabling McAfee to no avail...same
problem).
What
should I be doing in these entries? Any help you
could
give would be appreciated.

Check out the following stuff and reply to this
thread.
Don't start a new
thread, since it is easy to miss a new message
with
a
different subject in
the volume of posts in the newsgroup. If you
reply
to
this thread, then
your message won't be missed.
Do an "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt and
see
if
you can ping the IP
addresses listed as DNS Servers.
If you use nslookup can you resolve names?
Open a command prompt
Type nslookup and press enter
Type the fully qualified domain name
(
www.yahoo.com
or google.com will
work)
Check to see if something extra is in your
Winsock
protocol stack. I've
seen that cause this problem in the past:
Open msinfo32.exe
Expand Components->Network and click on
Protocol
Scroll through the list on the right side.
You
are
looking for anything
with a name that starts with anything
besides "MSAFD"
or "RSVP". This
includes things that start with "XXX over
MSAFD",
etc.
If in doubt, just
post back the whole list (Edit->select All,
Edit-
Copy).
Post back to the list and we'll get you fixed
up.

My system is running XP Home. My dial-up
internet
connection suddenly stopped resolving DNS. The
modem
dials
and connects to my ISP, but all sites come
back
with 'page
not found' errors. I went through all of the
configurations with my ISP and they finally
gave
up.
They
felt the OS was having a problem with DNS
resolution,
but
we ran out of settings to change with no luck.
Any ideas?
