my computer Link to Internet with DSL, it without a fixed IP address.

win2000 need a fixed IP address for DNS server.

my computer have only one network card.

DSL software make another virtual network card(PPPoE) tell windows that is
internet, and passing link to that real network card to DSL modem.

I don't know why win2000 take a DNS error.

now I return to win98 link to internet.


thanks.

* Not true. Just like all other windows operating systems it will accept the
DNS server addresses passed to it from a DHCP server.

* Makes no difference.

* Get in touch with your ISP's tech support on setup.

* We don't know either without the error details. Again ask your ISP
