532305 2007-03-12 05:35:00 My girlfriend rang me today because she couldn't get her Xnet dial up connection to work on her Compaq laptop (XP home ed) .

The dialing and connection part all go fine and the balloon comes up saying "connected at 49 . 2kb/s" but she cannot access any web pages . I got her to try both firefox and internet explorer and got her to disable zone alarm, still no go .

Here is the weird bit . I got her to ping www . google . com and it was successful! So the next thing I got her to try was the IP of www . google . com in her browsers . Still no go .

What the heck would be causing this?

You may be able to go 'ping 58.28.4.2' - if you get a response, the internet is working but you have a DNS problem.

532312 2007-03-12 09:25:00 nslookup gives me the following:

nslookup www.google.com
Server: 58.28.4.2
Address: 58.28.4.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.google.com canonical name = www.l.google.com.
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.147
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.99

532313 2007-03-12 23:26:00 nslookup gives me the following:

nslookup www.google.com
Server: 58.28.4.2
Address: 58.28.4.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.google.com canonical name = www.l.google.com.
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.147
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.99

Johnd:

The first lines (Server: 58.28.4.2) from the nslookup output shows which DNS server is performing the address resolution - in this case 58.28.4.2 is the DNS server of Xnet. For the record Xnet has a 2nd DNS server at 58.28.6.2...

The address for google.com should be uncer the non-authoritative answer section...
