Windows Forum / Windows Me / Hardware / June 2003win stop
Hi, I have Windows ME install on my laptop. I recently subscribed to Rogers highspeed internet and it was working fine, until one day it was unable to access the internet. I spoke to the tech. support @ Rogers, and the modem and everything else is fine. It can access a site using the id number(instead of the (www) address). So they suggested it a 'win stop' error. Can you please help me? Hi That's a DNS problem - get back to your ISP. It means that the www.* address can't be resolved to an IP Address.

Hi Noel Only if that particular URL had been added to the Hosts file. Unless of course it was a 'downloaded' Hosts file. Then the OP wouldn't know what was in it. As the OP says 'until one day...' - www.* not resolving to an IP Addresses would signify a DNS problem.

Hve to agree there. anyway, if this were the NT or 2000 groups I would ask about hosts files first but... Signature"To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge."
