Hope Lundmark: better ask for your IT administrator or Network people from your work if you need to connect to their DNS server before you can surf the internet. usually corporate computers has a network settings and they have they're own domain and Dns server and that might be causing you the DNS error But if you dnt need to connect to your company server better check the LOcal Area Connection of your computer and set it to Automatically get IP Address and Obtain DNS server Automatically for you to get a valid IP...Show more

Rhett Kaines: (For windows XP)Go to Control Panel, Network Connections, right click on the network connection and click properties, double click on TCP/IP, change the the ip settings to "Obtain automatically" and the dns settings to "Obtain automatically".Hopefully you should have a server that will tell the computer the network settings when it boots up.Ot! her than that I'd need specific information about your network before I could tell you the manual setup information you need, in which case your IT department would tell you how to do it seeing as you'd need to contact them for specific settings.(If you're running Vista then drop me an e-mail and I will mail you back with thwe instructions for doing the auto-setup in Vista)...Show more
