My internet setup is like this

Win Xp op system conected through a Dlink wired router and cable modem.

when I clink on some link the page does not open and after that I
cannot access any page.

If I check on the Local area connection on the task bar by rt clicking
and check status it show connected and yahoo messenger also shows
connected.

Now when I run netsh diag gui comand from Command prompt it show this
error
DNSServerSearchOrder (FAILED)
204.127.203.135 (PASSED)
216.148.225.135 (PASSED)
255.0.255.255 (FAILED)
Pinging 255.0.255.255 with 32 bytes of data:
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
Ping statistics for 255.0.255.255:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

How can I fix this problem of DNSSERVERSEARCHORDER FAILED.
I enabled netbios over TCP/IP

Thanks in advance

The problem is the DNS server 255.0.255.255 in the list - that is almost
assuredly not a valid DNS server. You need to determine where it's being
set on your system since it could be coming from your ISP, could be set in
the router, or in the TCP/IP configuration in the Network Properties dialog.
