I have Win ME. Everything appears to be connected normally. I am connected through a wireless connection. My IP address releases and renews fine. I can ping the IP address (ex. 69.221.21.231) but not the name (www.yahho.com). I think it may be spyware, virus related. Here is my Hijack This Log. Thanks for your help.

Tom

maybe you just typed it wrong in the forum but try
"ping www.yahoo.com" or "ping 216.109.118.73"


Otherwise what seems to be your actual problem.

That sounds like a DNS error to me. Try another site just to be sure. (Google is a good one.) Try unplugging your cable modem (Or DSL) so it can get new DNS servers from the ISP server.

Actually I didn't type the actual IP address in the forum. I was just making a distinction between the IP address using "numbers" vs the "name". I came to the solution on my own after looking at the HIjackThis log. The "newdotnet" that was in the log was the problem. I was able to find the removal instructions at their website http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html
Once I did that everything was back to normal.
Thanks for the input.

Tom

You can get this for the PING the ip... Here i got this site http://www.whoisxy.com/ for the Domain name to search the IP address details @ free of costs... Also with the PING search, DNS query from here.. i think this site will help to recover the IP address informations
