Besttechie Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi and Welcome,Try this Go start>control panel>network connecctions>right click Local area connection and choose properties.In the local area connections properties window you should see Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) click on that once then click the properties button.In the bottom section of this window there is a "Obtain DNS server address automatically" with a checkbox and a "Use the following DNS server addresses" checkbox. Copy the numbers, then Clear the numbers in the "Preferred DNS server" line and the "Alternate DNS server" line and then check the box to Obtain DNS server address automatically. Click ok then ok again. Next reboot your computer and give it a try. If for some reason you cant get back here after following the above instructions just reenter the numbers.Also who is your internet service provider? B Link to post Share on other sites

RadioDJ55 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I did notice in the ADVANCED TCP/IP dialogue, that the "register this connections addresses in DNS" box, in the DNS tab, was checked. I unchecked it, and SO FAR have not experienced the search.findwhatevernow.com problem. Link to post Share on other sites
