Section 8. The PC I'd been given had AOL on it (never mind !!). Following those instructions kicked the web back to life.

If the AOL bit isn't applicable to you guys then it could be the winsock2 key that is causing the trouble.

Good luck all.

Reloaded the SOCKS files - no help.

Tried to reload IE but setup could not find download sites info. online.

Verizon online help says disable DNS in the TCPIP Adapter and if that doesn't work, reload TCPIP.

These tips I have found after countless hours invested myself finding what works with little much to find on the Web about this..

I've fixed four or five machines like this before and it's been a challenge. I love a challenge because I am not a quitter.

One machine I fixed like this after re-installing Win98 CD UPGRADE and not the FULL version. Upgrade version of Windows re-writes all the files over. And yes, do it with a DOS boot (floppy disk) ONLY! This is the way it fully cleans up all the files.

I fixed one machine before like this by uninstalling Dial-Up Networking and all the Network protocals and re-installing per instructions found on the web.

I fixed one machine by deleting all the VXD and Winsock entries per Microsoft's website here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;241344
This method worked for me best.

I fixed another machine like this by zapping out the hard drive, re-format, and install Windows the cowardly way. Hee hee, yep we all have to do it some time.

This type of error is usually found on machines with traces of multiple free internets and those who have a lot of spyware in the registry. Something about different free internet software CDs installed and tried, they cancel themselves out and choke Winsock, is my theory.

Of course different ISP CDs installed, cookies, internet accelorators and spyware together combined have something to do with it, but if you find a proxy in the Dial-Up Properties, it is almost certain you have a spyware choking your VXDs and Winsock for you to see webpages. I even tried a free spyware remover such as Ad-Aware, but not updated, maybe that would have helped because this last one I am fixing now had the new version to the Internet Accelerator NETSETTER. If it is not updated spyware will still rule over that proxy setting no matter how many times I unchecked it. and rebooted.

I even re-installed Internet Explorer for each machine and this does NOT usually fix this type of problem.

Deleting the registry keys regarding Winsock and VXD works best, but you must re-install DUN (Dial-Up Networking) AND... Microsoft for Networks Client, Dial-up Adapter, and TCP/IP afterwards.

Here they are, those precious registry keys...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\AFVXD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\DHCP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\MSTCP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Authentication\SMM_Files

PS If this helped, please take the time to thank me. So many people need help from those experienced thus saving them lots of headache. If you drop me a email saying thanks, maybe I'd might post more tips here on this website from what you share.

If you are unable to browse any web pages, but can get your email, you probably need to rebuild Winsock (Windows Sockets).

This has also been known to resolve issues with invalid page faults in RPCRT4.DLL

Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock and \Winsock2 keys from the registry. (Start, Run, Regedit, Find, winsock)

Go into Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup. Select Communications and hit Details.

Uncheck Dial-Up Networking. Close out. Restart.

Go back in and check it again. Restart.

--

The Navigation Cancelled errors typically are caused by corruption of TCP/IP.

Remove it from the Network Configuration by right-clicking My Network Places (Control Panel) and hitting Properties, then selecting anything including "TCP/IP" and hitting Remove.

Close out and restart.

Go back in and click Add. Select Protocol and click Add. Select Microsoft of the

manufacturer and TCP/IP as the protocol. Click OK.

Close out and restart.

Above works easy for Win 9x & Me. Similar with Win2k, firstly delete winsock(&32) thru regedit, & go thru Dial Up Net properties, Options, etc & remove TCP/IP, & close out, re-start.

Go thru to properties agn & re-install.

Hope this helps & fwd to your pals with the problem/solution!

All the best

Small program that Fixes Winsock errors, Should solve the problem, fits on a floppy disk.

Also try downloading "Spybot-Search and Destroy", when removing adverts and spyware. Has a Fix to safely remove commonName without this problem occuring.

But managed to solve the problem with the winsock error by using these

He is using Windows 95 on a laptop. He can make the connection to his ISP, but cannot view any Web pages. He is receiving the following message in the status area of the IE 5.5 Web browser:

res://c:\windows\system\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm

I reinstalled Winsock2 from the setup file at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp

Make sure to read the release notes!!

I hope this helps others facing similar problems. Everything is working fine now - this was a challenging problem to solve!!

Another interesting thing discovered with this kind of error, is that the "page not found" error only means you can NOT see any of the other websites from a computer with this type of error, but you are ONLY allowed to view websites from your internet service provider's backbone.

For instance, when I dialed up and accessed the Internet from the monthly dial-up service of BUYERSONLINE.COM with a machine having the "page not found" errors, I was not able to view any web pages at all...; but wait... EXCEPT... I COULD view web pages..., but... ONLY from my backbone provider!!

For example, I was currently working on a computer having these same internet problems again. It would connect thru from the dial-up internet service but not to any website. Email would work and maybe instant messengers would work (not tested). Indeed, the computer was verified to have the error of "WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm" and the text on the screen "Page not found".

While connected to the ISP, I entered any website I wanted like Google.com or Yahoo.com and the same thing happened. And if I entered Buyersonline.com, the same thing happened, but if I entered the website of their backbone provider of blahblahblah.com (not given due to security reasons), THE INTERNET WORKED!!

This will not benefit those running Windows 98/ME/XP.

Most of these posts have been from users past experience followed by trial and error. I have
not had this problem on a personal pc using dial up to an ISP but I suspect spyware is to blame for everyone's problem.

I'm a System Administrator that has had this problem on many of our workstations and everyone of them users were unknowingly downloading spy-ware or commonware. For any
SA's having this problem on a Windows NT/2K platform.

The solution is quite simple so dont waste your time reloading I.E., Proxy Server or your IIS.

Steps:
Right click on network neighborhood
click in TCP/IP and verify all your
settings match the server's (DNS/WINS) tabs.

example: primary dns 208.34.67.44

secondary dns 208.34.67.44

complete each tab with the domain name suffix

and fill in your primary & secondary WINS

after verifying all settings do in fact match
(minus DHCP which shouldnt change)

close TCP/IP properties and restart machine.

BAM!!! your users will now be able to surf the net again.

Changing your Proxy settings settings or bypassing the proxy all together does not work!!!

There are a number of different things I have tried that worked temp like re-joining the domain but this one is the Mother fix.

Spyware removal programs,
Ad-Aware

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

And my favorite, Spybot Search & Destroy

http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

And a free online virus scan,

I'had the same problem on my computer at work after playing around and installing / removing couple of programs. It's runnig under NT, but LanMan's fix didn't do a thing (sorry, tried before). So spend the Friday up to 0:30 in the office, to no result. Found an interresting post in another forum today, concerning an incomplete Service Pack installation.

In my case running an SP 6 Update (of NT) again did the trick (removed IE6 and reinstalled it last week, is SP1). Hope this is useful to someone out there.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

What keeps popping up 20 to 30 times? adverts or web pages?

If adverts try downloading ADAWARE or SPYBOT, you can find both of them free.

Then go to either:

For Win98, WinMe
http://www.bu.edu/pcsc/internetaccess/winsock2fix.html

But the Winsock program worked perfectly. thanx

"How to Configure Internet Explorer to Work with AOL as Your ISP

All of a sudden I can't launch I.E. 6 to connect to the internet UNLESS I have first connected with AOL. If AOL isn't launched and I try to do IE6 I get this:

We also have AOL 8.0. We have had AOL since 5.0, and it has worked pretty good for us over the years.

A few months ago we got Cox cable, and that is working pretty good. Sometimes we use Internet Explorer directly, sometimes we connect to the internet with AOL 8.0.

We sometimes use AOL 8.0 dial-up on our other, old computer when a lot of family members want to use our main computer with the cable hookup.

The AOL 8.0 dial-up works pretty good, too.

Reinstalling WinXP: Have you thought about formatting and reinstalling WinXP?
When we first got WinXP Pro, we had to install it a few times before it worked properly.

Can you use a friend's or neighbor's computer to try to search google for the shdolc problem?

Double check your "advanced" settings in "Internet Options". For instance, do you have Java Script checked correctly?

What cable modem do you have? We bought a Motorola Surfboard. Is you modem alright?

You say you can connect to some web sites, but not others.

Suggestion: Go into Internet Explorer and double check your settings in "Advanced" at the top of the screen.

Pay special attention to the "Browsing" and "Security" sections. Your security settings might be wrong in "Advanced."

Try the Default settings for the Advanced category.

How many computers do you have hooked up to the router?

Default in "Advanced": Since you have it on default, maybe you should try a custom setting, that is, go to each item in "advanced" and enable everything that you can, such as the Active X items. That is, make sure all the Active X items are open/enabled.

Again, you might consider trying to format and re-install WinXP.

What are the brand and specs of you computer? For instance, we use a Compaq Presario 5245 that we bought new a few years ago: AMD-K6-2, 400 MHz, 10GB harddrive.
It originally came with Win98, 96MB of memory.

We have since upgraded to WinXP, 256 memory, and 80 GB Western Digital hardrive.

We connect to Cox Cable through an onboard NIC that came with the computer, and a Motorola Surfboard cable modem.

If it were me, I would try this experiment: I would just hook up one computer directly to the cable modem until I was able to connect at least one computer to all web pages.

Again, I would double check every item in Internet Options, especially in the "Advanced" category. I would set the items manually instead of using "default".

As a test, under the category "Advanced", I would check or uncheck items in such places like "Security" to give web sites easy access to your computer.

For instance, under "Browsing" in "Advanced", I would check/uncheck items in order to allow as many web pages as possible access to your computer without first having to provide some type of certification.

I would check/uncheck the Active X items in "Advanced" to allow as many web pages as possible access to your computer.

Do you have Java and JavaScript enabled?

But it would not hurt to double-check your Java settings, such as in "Security" and in "Advanced."

For instance, in "Advanced",I have "Microsoft VM" listed. I have check marks next to two of the three items listed.

In "Security", I have "Microsoft VM". I have it set to "Medium Safety".

Again, if it were me, I would connect only one computer to the modem and Comcast cable, and I would not connect the second computer until the first one could access web sites correctly.

2. You said you have two computers hooked up to the Internet by way of a router.
As an experiment, have you tried to disconnect one of the computers from the internet, that is, have you tried an experiment where you connect only one computer directly to the cable modem? Don't use USB during this experiment.

3. If one computer still has problems connecting to some web pages, then try the other computer by itself to see what happens.

2. Second computer: As an experiment, can you connect the second computer to AOL by itself to see if it works?
We also have WinXP Pro. We have Cox cable with AOL 8.0.

3. Have you been to google, both web and groups, and typed in something like "shdoclc problem" to see if you can find some help? I think that shdoclc refers to a problem with Internet Explorer.

4. Did you say that there is no problem with host computer, but only a problem with the second computer?

5. Are your Internet Explorer settings the same in BOTH computers?
