OK Mike - Try this. Open a DOS window and enter at the prompt "ipconfig
/flushdns" (without the quotes), then enter at the prompt "ipconfig
/registerdns" (without the quotes). Test and if this has fixed things,
stop here. Else,
Now IF AND ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH THE REGISTRY, open
Regedit and browse to this key if you have it (I don't currently have a copy
of Win98 installed, so I can't check for you).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnsca
che\Parameters]
If you do and it contains the following keys (not necessarily with these
particular values):
"NegativeCacheTime"=dword:0000012c
"NetFailureCacheTime"=dword:0000001e
"NegativeSOACacheTime"=dword:00000078
then Export this entire entry for backup, and then set each of these values
to dword:00000000
See if that helps. If not merge back the .reg file you exported above to
restore the original values. Please post back with your actions/results.

I downloaded LSPfix onto a floppy and copied onto my "bad"
computer (Windows 98). Didn't help. I re-booted but still
get the same responses when attempting to browse the web.
