It is always helpful when you post a question in these forums to at least tell us which version of Windows you are running and which model computer you have. Assuming you are running Windows XP, try downloading and running winsockfix for Windows XP from the Here and if that doesn't work try lspfix from Here.

To help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.

All the spelling errors in that output make me suspiceous of the whole thing, but I think there is enough correct information there to give some hints.  First, open the command prompt window again and type ipconfig /flushdns then click OK.  Reboot the computer and see if this fixes the problem.     Next, go to Start > Run and type services.msc then click OK.   Find the listing for dhcp client.  Double click on it and make sure it is set to Startup Type - Automatic and that the service is indeed started.  Reboot and see if that fixes the problem.   Steve
