Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / November 2004dns erros after installing internet sharing
Hi, I have simple NetBEUI networking and TCP/IP installed on my laptop. Some weeks back I added TCP/IP to my Ehternet adaptor, and internet sharing to my desktop, so I could surf from on my laptop through my desktopn connection. My Network properties look like this: Client for Microsoft Networks. Dialup Adapter Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethnert Adapter (10/100) NETGEAR WG511 54mbps Wireless PC Card Toshiba FIR Port Type-O NetBEUI -> the Ethernet Adapter TCP/IP -> all three File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks All settings are to automatic detection. My LAN connection settings in Internet Options are to automatic detection. All went well until my browser couldn't find the "server or dns". This has continued for weeks despite my attempts to fix it. The browser connects OK, but then lossed the DNS server after 5 or 10 minutes. It happens on any connection, dial-up, various wireless broadcast, my internet sharing networking. It happens with any browser, MSIE, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera. It never fails. The browser connection never returns. Sometimes it chokes for a while before I get the error message, usually not. It does not happen with email, ftp, telnet etc.. They remain uneffected. Winipcfg retains the correct network information, which I renew before surfing, even though the browser returns dns errors. Restarting network connection does not help. Removing NetBEUI or other protocals and adopters does not help. Not logging onto network doesn't help. Setting the TCP/IP binding in use as default protocal doesn't help. Renewing the IP configuration doesn't help. Logging off and on doesn't help. The only thing that works is a reboot. I can't undo it! I uninstalled all networking, including dial-up, reinstalled win98se, reinstalled Netgear wireless only, took it to a cafe to test. Still had the problem. Any ideas would be appreciated!  Signaturefreeman I have had some similar issues. First, make sure the default gateway on the laptop points to the deskptop's IP address (easier to do if they are static IPs vs. DHCP IPs). Right-click on NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD, then click PROPERTIES. Select the TCP/IP entry for your network adapter (the one connecting to the desktop) and click PROPERTIES. Second, find out what the DNS server is for your dial-up connection. On the desktop after connecting to the internet, go to START - RUN. Type "command" (no quotes). In the MS-DOS window, type "ipconfig /all" (no quotes). You should see your ICS adapter, Dial-up adapter, network adapter and some others. One of the entries should show an IP address for a DNS server. Enter this on the laptop in the DNS tab. Anymore than that is outside the scope of what I encountered.

I ran Wintop, a kernal toy, to see if there were any programs starting after I had been logged on for a few minutes. Sure enough, a program in the system file, that says it is a microsoft file, called Pstore.exe would start and my browser connection would be lost. I deleted it and its rc file. No more problems.

You deleted pstore.exe? Bad move. That file controls protected storage, the saving of passwords, usernames etc. If you suddenly discover that your system is unable to save or retrieve passwords, if Outlook Express suddenly runs very slowly or if the Windows AddressBook won't or is very slow to open, the reason is the deletion of that file. If you are using OE, then your problems could quite likely have been caused by the user setting 'disconnect after send receive'. Further assistance regarding the possible cause of your original problem can be found here: Computer keeps disconnecting: http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers4.htm#disconnecting Internet connection freezes (data going to and from modem seems to pause): http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers2.htm#connection_freeze Signature_______________________________________ Hyperlinks used to ensure advice is current Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org > Thanx. > [quoted text clipped - 102 lines] >>> >>> Any ideas would be appreciated! I did delete pstore.exe and its data files and they are still gone. I have not had any of the problems that youn expect (yet:-) I have been using Thunderbird, not OE, for most of the period in question. Is it possible OE was connecting in the background without showing up on Wintop? Is it possible I stopped it by deleting pstore.exe? I absolutely had tried everything, including all the configurations on the pages you reference (thank you I saved the suggested settings just in case) except the disconnection setting in OE. I deleted pstore because it appeared in wintop exactly when I lost connections through network, modem or wireless, on 3 or 4 trials. I have been able to maintain connections without exception immediatly thereafter and ever since. Could pstore.exe have been corrutpted, rewritten or replaced by a spybot?

I forgot to mention I also deleted the registry keys for pstore.exe :-) Signaturefreeman >I did delete pstore.exe and its data files and they are still gone. > [quoted text clipped - 142 lines] >>>>> >>>>> Any ideas would be appreciated! Hadron, Consider this. You probably had a corrupt password, which is completely different from problems with pstore.exe. In short, you used a sledgehammer to squash a flea.
