Cannot find server or DNS errorI just ordered Rogers high speed internet. The motorola modem is plugged
into the ethernet card, however, I am unable to surf the internet. I get CANNOT FIND SERVER OR DNS ERROR. What could be the problem?? I have Win98SE operating system on the other partition. The internet connection works fine with Win98SE. I have problem only with Win2000 professional. I even tried log in as Administrator. Still can't surf the internet. Appreciate your help. Thanks / RG From a command prompt;
