IP problem to access Internet

Hi,

I have a problem with a Windows 98 PC.

I can access to Internet if i write http://www.yahoo.com

but if i write http://216.109.118.79/ i have no problem.

How to launch service to translate this IP adress in a DNS adress

Tks
Franck

Point to a valid DNS server

in command prompt "ipconfig -all" and tell us what DNS server you are using.

Search your computer for a hidden file called HOSTS. Rename to HOSTS.OLD and
test.

Also, open a DOS window and run the following command:

ipconfig /flushdns
