okay, i'll just start out by saying what i have done...

re-installed: DUN, NIC, Client for MS Networks
tried specifying IP address, manually assign gateway & DNS
tried DHCP
went through Internet Options and everthing seems okay there...except under CONNECTION|ADVANCED it had some weird http://proxycfg.netsetter.com shit, which i disabled and put to AUTO DETECT

all of this has done nothing...

problem: i cannot access any web pages or use any programs such as AIM ICQ IE

i am able to goto COMMAND and PING specific IP's, and even ping domains such as www.yahoo.com and get responses, but as soon as i try to access a web page via program like IE, i get the dreaded DNS error...

any ideas?

It may be clearer if you say what your network is made up of, or is it just a PC and a dial-up connection ?
What OS are you using?
