I was told by U.S. Patriot to post this to the Windows XP forum.
I been having this problem for almost three months now.
When I start up Internet Explorer, try to go to a site or have a pop up, I will always see this page:
ADDSRESS: res://C:\WINDOWS\system\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#
http://www.yahoo.com)
The page cannot be displayed

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this setting).
Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.
Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.
If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer
I have tried everything, virus scans, following the given instructions, spyware removal/ scans, reseting to default and almost every update or fix for internet explorer I can find. Nothing seems to work.
The weird thing is, if I open a normal folder and type a website say
www.yahoo.com, it WORKS. I can surf the internet and even go to other websites. This means that Internet Explorer is working just that it would not work the normal way.
BUT no pop ups works and if I open a New Window in IE the problem is there. It is like the problem does not affect the folder opened window only.
I am using a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 on Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I am using 512KB broadband
I have also tried to release my IP address and renew it and it 'worked' for one page only. I manage to enter yahoo, then the problem is back again.(I cannot anter any page after yahoo, even refreshing yahoo got the same problem.)
About the fixers and updates. I tried to get some of those patches from Microsoft website. They are suppose to address some problems, but not mine.
Also I CANT uninstall Internet Explorer. I does not appear on the add/remove programs list. And yes I have reinstall Internet explorer a few different times. I even just installed a Yahoo version, hope that it works but it made no difference.
All the firewall, antivirus, internet protection, came along with the computer, which worked OK for two months before this problem starts.
And I did renewal of the IP address while online it have no effect.
The problem does not seems to be hardware based, in fact I remember I was viewing a site when I realise that I cannot go to the next page, thats when the problem was there.
Last of all I tried Maxthon and Firefox. Both do nor work. Only Netscape works.
Please help. I need the internet for school work, and have been using Netscape, which is not very compateble with my school's website. Also I cannot install Netscape 8.0, each time I try it pops up a installer error saying my installer has an invalid configuration. Using Netscape 7.2 is starting to pose problems so I need to fix this problem fast!
I will appreciate if anyone has a way to fix this problem/s.
