Can't ping or access any site that requires
a DNS lookup from my window 98.

I'm connected to AOL network using DHCP.
From a command window,
ipconfig /all comes back with IP address, DNS server
address,
Gateway address, etc. I can ping any of them.
But if I ping "www.google.com" I get a
"unknown site" error message. It seems
that DNS isn't working.

Firewalls completey removed.

How do you get DNS to work?
