DNS resolving issue?

[Jonny69]

Got a mate trying to connect to the internet over his wireless network but it won't seem to resolve any site IP addresses. It's XP SP2, connected to the wireless network ok and the IP address is correct, as is subnet, gateway and DN server. Ipconfig tells me all is ok and the router says it is connected to the internet.

When IE is opened it says "connecting to 1.0.0.0" and times out instead of picking out an IP address for Google. It logs into the router wirelessly fine and it can ping bbc.co.uk and google from a command prompt. Putting the IP address for Google into IE gets it to the Google homepage but none of the links get anywhere.

There is no proxy set and no hosts file getting in the way. The computer has had Mcafee in the past, would that have made a proxy through itself? It also has a modem connection through a mobile phone but it's disabled and set to never dial a connection in IE.

Anyone got any ideas?

You could try some other providers dns?

Try getting to a website via IP: OcUK are: 83.245.33.200

Yes all sites are accessible using IP but any links (like through Google results) don't get resolved.

Is MS IPv6 installed on that PC ? ? ?
If it is, uninstall it and try again.

What is this and where would I see if it is installed?

That's what I tried, set it as the router's IP address but it didn't help.

Removing TCP/IP V6 has fixed the problem. Many thanks chaps
