I have two machines using a Cable router, one wireless one
100M wired. Both machines are Win98SE. Lately I have
been having problems with URL resolutions. Random pages
would appear in response to simple address request, such
as www.microsoft.com. Usually restarting browser and
multiple attempts will get me where I want to go. Any
idea why the problem? I called Cox Cable and asked if
they were experiencing any problems with their DNS servers
and they said no. Checked HOSTS file too. Nothing there.
TIA
