I had previously attempted to repair a corrupted system file in my NT box but was unsuccessful. I ended up reinstalling back to the original Service Pack 1. My plan now is to upgrade the IE browser and OS on-line but I'm having trouble getting the browser to work. At this stage, the NT box can ping web sites successfully using their IP address but not the URL name. The browser will search and find a website but eventually responds with "Could not open ..." Would appreciate any troubleshooting advice you have time to relay. Thanks, Bob Perry. -- I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #0
