The day i installed the WIN XP SP2, my internet connection after getting established give dns error for all websites and thus the page doesnt get displayed. But sometimes it does work for first 2 mins. of connection. The Ping check is proper. Also when tried thru Win Me, the net connection works very well. All basic modem re-install, new drivers checks etc... hav been done. I just cant use net thru WIN xp now! Pls suggest some cure!

Try
Start > Run > Cmd (press enter)
On Command prompt, type
Ipconfig /flushdns (press enter)

Does that helped ..?

Did you check the exceptions tab in the windows firewall provided bs SP 2? If firewall is on try adding your connection under the 'exceptions' tab.

Check your hosts file:

Start -> Run :

notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Please post the contents of your hosts file here

Its workin now!...I just reduced the size of Temp internet files to 1 MB ..Its working as of now after abt 15 days of trials...Only time will tell whether that was the solution.
The exceptions etc...didnt work as desired.
Will also try the flushdns...
Thanks
