I can access all web sites that I have tried except
www.microsoft.com and of course the updates page - This is
a brand new clean re-install of Windows 98 SR2 which had
the initial problem with the IE that came with it and then
I updated to 6.x by downloading a corporate install and
still getting the same problems.

Thanks
 
Jeff ,
Symtom: Page cannot be displayed / Cannot find server or DNS Error

In the event you can not access a site and you believe it
may be due to an entry in the HOSTS file.

You can use a simple batch file to rename the HOSTS file "on-the-fly".
