This worked for me, along with dns registry rollback. Thanks.

I know we quite often 'think' we've taken the necessary precautions, but I have seen this happen more than once on XP Home systems that become infected with something akin to a .pif virus.

Additionally, you should be aware that when a system responds to the DNSRSLVR fix it usually indicates that the system in question is already infected.

When in doubt, meaning when you've tried everything else, create an AV ERD CD from a clean system and treat your target machine as if you already know it's infested. Save yourself hours. :wink:

Try turning off the 'Personal Firewall' feature of Norton Internet Security if you're running that program. That's what fixed it for me.

My new Dell PC came with Home XP SP2 and that Norton program preloaded. When I connected the PC to my LAN and ran the IE6.0 browser, I could only get to my local web server if I typed in the IP address; I couldn't pull web pages if I used the web server's name. Turning off Norton's 'Personal Firewall' let me access the web server by name.

The Personal Firewall also prevented me from mapping network drives between the PC and server.

Hope that helps!

I have tried all of the above for hours, and nothing has fixed my problem.

Every time i turned on my machine, i could surf for the first 2 minutes, after that it started to surf slower and slower until i finilly got the "page cannot be displayed" on all pages, no matter if i did a refresh.

So, frustrated, I thought some program could start running in those first 2 minutes, so i opened the task manager "ctrl+alt+del" and started to end processes that looked as unknow for me. So i finished like 4-5 .exe applications with unknow names. and abra ca dabra, i could start surfing without problems and a lot faster tht before!!

I still need to find out what those .exe are. I did many scans for spyware and virus and nothign was found...

I hope this can help someone.

Just my two cents.

Greetings
Alex.

Use another user profile on the affected machine and rename the folder "Temporary Internet Files" inside the Local Settings folder of the affected user profile. It seemed to get rid of that stupid freakin' "Page cannot be displayed" error.

Turned out my issue was with my D-Link router. If anyone else uses a D-Link product, beware - you must upgrade your firmware for the web to work correctly with all browsers...

Of course, I find this out after hours of tech support. :?

Well, with my instructions on the link I posted on the previous page. I have never failed to fix an XP machine with those instructions.

As far as Microsoft....that's why I don't use them for any of our equipment. I like things to actually work and stay working. Web and mail servers have been up for over a year now without even a reboot. It's a great thing :)

Please help me, I do webdesign as a business out of the home... its not exactly easy to do w/o most internet sites working. The "page cannot be displayed" error has not corrected itself with all the aid provided thus far. I have tried the Microsoft patches, read their help and followed the guides, altered my DNS numbers through my LAN connection, nothing has worked. C'mon Microsoft - until they figure out what to do, anyone else have other ideas... :-/

Hi everyone!
I have been dealing with this issue for months. Called Dell and Time Warner Cable. Both gave temp. help. Last night I tried CowDoc's suggestion and it worked!!!

I had the problem of not being able to browse the web after service pack 2 download. I followed the advice posted here, only I feel uncomfortable using regedit. I simply went to C:windowssystem32 and renamed dnsrslvr.dll to dnsrslv.old. I then copied the old dnsrslvr.dll from the serv1 backup directoryl to the system32 directory. I am back up and browsing with my firewall turned on.
Thank you so much for your great advice.

I replace the Dnsrslvr.dll in the system32 file with the one that is from the Old system, and it works great.

For about 3 minutes, then when I search for the Dnsrslvr.dll file, I see that the bad version is BACK...

Any ideas?

Appreciate your assistance. However, your solution only affects loopbacks... not the problems that most people have described here.

After installing XP SP2 I could view most web pages, but a few pages gave a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error. I finally traced the problem to the DNS server. Apparently the DNS server I was connecting to did not resolve certain IP addresses properly. After changing the IP address of the DNS server, the problem resolved. The fix is explained under microsoft support 812336.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812336

I'm not sure if the IP address for the original DNS server was provided by Comcast or if XP SP2 changed it. Never had a problem before SP2. Hope this saves someone some time.

In Windows SP2, the firewall that comes along with the SP2 creates a problem, just turn it off and browsing through the internet will be easy without any problems. Turning off the popup blocker does not help though.

I found and resolved the issue for this problem. The instructions I had previously found left alot to be desired so...well, they have been redone and much easier to follow. You can find the instructions here

Hope that helps those of you that find this page. I found this page while looking for a solution myself and I saw there wasn't a solution so I'm passing it along

Hey gang,

I've been browsing so many forums so far to find a solution for that sp2 page cannot be displayed problem, and only one solution worked for me...
As suggested by eohrnberger, I have replaced the file dnsrslvr.dll located in C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 by the one located in C:WINDOWS$NtServicePackUninstall$
Everything works fine now.
I just wonder if that file is being replaced when rebooting or when doing another windows update, but at least, it work for now!!

eohrnberger — Wed, 13 Oct 2004 18:43:13 -0000

Well, I went on a hunch and replaced the mswsock.dll in the C:WINDOWSsystem32 with the one from the C:WINDOWS$NtServicePackUninstall$ directory, which should be the one previous to XP SP 2 installation. This worked for a little while, but also failed with the same dam DNS error.

Will this never end? How could such an error be allowed to escape testing? Dam Mickeysoft!

Thanks goodness that I have an old trusty Windows 2000 installation to fall back on, otherwise I'd be completely out of business.

Well, the DNS problem is back. I've run the winsock fix program a number of times (and then changed the IP settings to the proper static IP address again), but it keeps coming back. Do you suppose that it has something to do with the static IP address that I'm assigning the XP machine?
