internet explorer could not open the search page

I have a small network hub with two laptops connected via ethernet, and both laptops are running w2k.

RE: internet explorer could not open the search page jbotz (MIS) 24 Jun 03 18:35 I'm really tapped out right now, I can't figure out what to do, I can ping but nothing else I can't even telnet into the router(I might be doing it wrong though.) Please if anyone knows what I can do I'd greatly appreciate it. I've loaded up the ME disc and re loaded it and nothing same thing, I might as well not have done it. but when I uninstalled it, windowsME(R) tried to re install a previous version and that didnt work(it kept getting an error). I've tried uninstalling IE and re installing it. dll's) but I cannot find it now that I need it. also I've read a post somewhere once before about how to correct this error (by deleteing/renaming some. The dsl is set up correctly on that computer as I can ping both ip address and web site names.

on the one that doesn't work every time I enter an address(web or ip) I get a message that 'internet explorer could not open the web page. right now one computer works and the other doesn't. I have two computers that share a dsl connection.
