After I get connected to my ISP I am unable to
access any web pages.  In the Event Viewer Error Log there
are a series of error messages, all the same:

"IPRIP was unable to create a socket for address
nnn.nn.nnn.n [my IP address].  The data is the error code."

Any idea what this error means and how to solve this?

Thank you.

Is there a reason why you are running RIP on your machine.  If you are not
using it then disable it.

The good news is removing RIP made the error message
disappear from the log.  Thanks.

The bad news is that I am still not getting connected to
any web sites, despite not getting any visible error
messages.  I can ping the DNS server IP address, and I can
ping other sites by IP address.  But I cannot ping sites
by name - I get "Unknown host" errors.

It seems pretty clear I am having problems with DNS, but I
don't know why or how to fix it.  Any ideas would be
welcome.

Thanks.

Yes, I connect via dialup.

I'm not sure what details will help, but here is some info
from "ipconfig /all" when I am dialed in:

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Hi Paul. Try to repair your winsock using the program at the link below for 
LSPfix or
try yourself manually. --- Steve

If you use NSLookup, are you able to connect to your DNS servers?  Do they
reply to a query that you put in?

Example:

Default Server:  DNS.YourISP.com
Address:  A.B.C.D

> www.google.com
Server:  DNS.YourISP.com
Address:  A.B.C.D

Name:    WWW.Google.com
Address:  66.102.7.99

>

If not, you may want to use a network sniffer to verify the packet flow.

Thanks.  This is what I get from NSLookup:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nslookup

*** Can't find server name for address 206.246.194.10: No
response from server

*** Can't find server name for address 206.246.194.20: No
response from server

*** Default servers are not available

Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  nnn.nnn.nnn.nn <my primary DNS server address>

> www.google.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  nnn.nnn.nnn.nn <my primary DNS server address>

*** UnKnown can't find www.google.com: No response from
server

I'd sniff the network.  It looks like either the DNS replies are not coming
back to you, or you are dropping them.
