I know we quite often ‘think’ we’ve taken the necessary precautions, but I have seen this happen more than once on XP Home systems that become infected with something akin to a .pif virus.

Additionally, you should be aware that when a system responds to the DNSRSLVR fix it usually indicates that the system in question is already infected.

When in doubt, meaning when you’ve tried everything else, create an AV ERD CD from a clean system and treat your target machine as if you already know it’s infested. Save yourself hours. :wink:

Try turning off the ‘Personal Firewall’ feature of Norton Internet Security if you’re running that program. That’s what fixed it for me.

My new Dell PC came with Home XP SP2 and that Norton program preloaded. When I connected the PC to my LAN and ran the IE6.0 browser, I could only get to my local web server if I typed in the IP address; I couldn’t pull web pages if I used the web server’s name. Turning off Norton’s ‘Personal Firewall’ let me access the web server by name.

The Personal Firewall also prevented me from mapping network drives between the PC and server.

Hope that helps!

I have tried all of the above for hours, and nothing has fixed my problem.

Every time i turned on my machine, i could surf for the first 2 minutes, after that it started to surf slower and slower until i finilly got the “page cannot be displayed” on all pages, no matter if i did a refresh.

So, frustrated, I thought some program could start running in those first 2 minutes, so i opened the task manager “ctrl+alt+del” and started to end processes that looked as unknow for me. So i finished like 4-5 .exe applications with unknow names. and abra ca dabra, i could start surfing without problems and a lot faster tht before!!

I still need to find out what those .exe are. I did many scans for spyware and virus and nothign was found…

I hope this can help someone.

Just my two cents.

Greetings
Alex.

Use another user profile on the affected machine and rename the folder “Temporary Internet Files” inside the Local Settings folder of the affected user profile. It seemed to get rid of that stupid freakin’ “Page cannot be displayed” error.

Turned out my issue was with my D-Link router. If anyone else uses a D-Link product, beware – you must upgrade your firmware for the web to work correctly with all browsers…

Of course, I find this out after hours of tech support. :?

Well, with my instructions on the link I posted on the previous page. I have never failed to fix an XP machine with those instructions.

As far as Microsoft….that’s why I don’t use them for any of our equipment. I like things to actually work and stay working. Web and mail servers have been up for over a year now without even a reboot. It’s a great thing :)
