Computer doesnt recognize ip address

[sperron12]

Hello,
My dell computer will recognize the actual IP address of google for example. 74.125.155.104. If I type in www.google.com it does not connect to the internet. Any suggestions??

Check TCP/IP Properties.

Start, Connect To, Connection, Properties, Scroll Down TCP/IP and highlight, click Properties and check that Obtain DNS and IP address automatically are enabled.

Or try using the Open Google DNS Servers: 8.8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
