How to Fix the "No DNS Error" on Windows XP SP2
Resolving a No DNS error is generally as easy as calling your Internet Service Provider and getting a bit of information. The DNS, or Domain Name Server is specialized kind of web site your computer visits behind the scenes so that it can find out where to look for a web site you visited. For example, if you wanted to visit www.ehow.com, your computer would pay a visit to your DNS server and find out where ehow is located. However, if you get a no DNS server error, it means your computer can't find the DNS. It's an easy fix though.
