After failing to update my windows XP to SP3, my PC was not able to resolve DNS with most softwares. The only one that seems to still work now is my Opera browser. Others, such as IE 6, firefox are not able to resolve the DNS.
I tried pinging google and it also fails.
C:\>ping www.google.com
Ping request could not find host www.google.com. Please check the name and try again.
But nslookup can still work
