This page cannot be displayed

I recently have been failing to get any web pages loaded. All i get is the error "this page cannot be displayed". I tryed "ipconfig /all" on the command prompt and all i get in the dns server line is incomoprehensible letters and numbers instead of the dns server address!!

Where do i go from there.

The network is running fine, I'm currently using another laptop instead of the malfunctioning one.

What OS do you have? Are you pulling an IP address?

Assign a static local IP to the computer. It apparently doesn't like what the DHCP server is telling it. Use the ISP's actual DNS.

ok guys,
i found out the network settings have IPv6 intsalled, so i removed it, now the protocols installed are like those on the other laptops. Now the ipconfig /all command says my ip is 0.0.0.0 and soesn't show any DNS.

I'm using windows XP service pack 1 home edition.

What do you mean pulling IP?

ok glc, will give it a try

Sorry glc, that didn't work.

Let me give you people a background on how this problem started in the first place, I have a cable modem service and the laptop running smoothly when i decided to use another laptop. So instead of shifting the ethernet cable from one laptop to the other, I got a wireless router and a wireless network card for the older laptop. The newer one in a centrino. I tried to setup the netowrk but for some reason i kept failing to get thru to the inernet, a connection becomes established and i can connect to the setup page of the router but not to the inernet. So I decided what the %^&*, let's remove the router and just connect the computer directly to the router using the ethernet. Then i removed the wifi card from the older laptop, and then it stopped working.

Can that explain what happened and how to fix it??

One more detail:
The IPconfig /all says the IP adress is 0.0.0.0, I said this before, also the subnet mask is 0.0.0.0 and the DHCP server is 255.255.255.255

I guess it just ain't a DNS problem, it is aproblem with acquiring a proper IP

sshrae, you need to start your own thread. Both you and Le Pacha deserve continuity with your problems.

OK i just found out from the ISP that there cable modem gets locked on the MAC address of only one machine, so they reset it for me from their end and now everything is fine
