No Internet, but still connects to the Network.

Ok, I was wanting to download a streaming file today, so I downloaded Cocsoft Stream Download. It said it needed to reboot to fully install, but I ignored that and used it anyway. It didn't work right, so I uninstalled it and downloaded Hi Download. I used it to download the streaming file. I got some weird error messages saying something like "Can not draw to canvas" or something. Didn't seem to stop the download, so I just hit enter.

After the file finished downloading, I immediately tried to play it. It gave me some error message about Windows Media Player (sorry, can't remember), and my system was crashing. I had to turn the power off and on.

Anyway, when I get back to windows, I tried playing the file and it worked. I even played it on my Xbox over the network, so the network connection works. But whenever I try to get online with either FireFox or IE, I got an error immediately (DNS error in IE).

I'm on DSL using a wireless router. This computer connects to the Internet fine. I've tried restarting both the router and the modem, but that doesn't help. Restarting the computer doesn't help. I can still access the computer via the network, and it can acess other stuff on the network, but I can't use the Internet.

The computer is running Win98 SE.

Reinstalling and uninstalling Cocsoft worked. Sorry for wasting your time.

Wait, reinstalling got it to work again, so I just assumed uninstalling wouldn't do anything. It seems I can't uninstall this program without it causing the same problem. Any suggestions?

What version of windows? If you have XP try WinSock XP Fix

Sounds like you need to whip out your cocsoft and get and see the doctor mate

I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that I have no connection, business or personal, with Someone7.
