Guest avat Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I am working through a router with one main computer, a wireless laptop, and a second desktop computer. When everything is plugged in, the second desktop computer (which runs Windows XP Home Edition) shows it is connected to the Internet, but when running a browser (in this case Internet Explorer) I get the "The page cannot be displayed" error. I've tried to run an "ipconfig" through the command prompt and I get this error: Windows IP Configuration An internal error occurred: the request is not supported. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help. Additional information: Unable to query host name. I followed the instructions in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918557/en-us?sd=gn However, the computer name is there and was already in the places it says to check in "regedit". They gave no further information. Any help on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try restoring it from your WinXP installation CD.
