I had a similar problem just today - I couldn't get an older 3Comm

John,
Thanks. That is why I typed out the URLs to make sure we were
talking about the same thing. Since Tom had referred to a numeric IP
address earlier, when made his comment I wondered if he was still
talking about a numeric IP address. This is the first time I've been
exposed to
For those of you late to the discussion: The reason he runs Win 98 is
that he is disabled and some of his adaptive software will not run on
anything newer. We would like to move him to XP, but first we need to
find a way to replace/work around his adaptive software needs.

If this is the problem and he's getting the wrong DNS address, how do I
correct it?
Quick solution is to manually enter the address of a known good DNS. I
use Open DNS for this. (Yes you can Google that, then copy/paste the
addresses.)
And of course you tried typing in an IP address into the browser?

Tom meant the numeric IP address. Google is http://64.233.167.99.
This should take you to google english. If you get anything else you
may have a virus/trojan that has taken over your PC.
I would switch over to opendns.com and follow their directions for
changing your DNS server.
