Internet Connection Problem

[anish]

I am using windows 7 professional and had broadband connection for internet. However, I cannot open any of the sites from internet explorer 8. Whenever I diagnose the problem it says that DNS server is not responding. Plus I cannot login to live messenger, there I tried to troubleshoot but it marks in DNS server and keyport with yellow triangle. I have tried as much as possible and seeking proper guidance from anyone to fix that problem!!

what os are you using?.. check your Ethernet connection.. in command prompt try this!

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Try this to determine if it is just a DNS issue or perhaps something a little more wide sweeping. Open IE8 and in the address bar type 64.233.169.99 (prefaced by http://) if google opens then it is a DNS issue. If not then it is something more. Do as senthil suggests above, and tell us what results you get from ipconfig /all
