Solve : Browser connection timing out; possibly DNS related issue?

1.	Solve : Browser connection timing out; possibly DNS related issue?
Answer» im using my spare ethernet card now but im STILL getting the DNS error. at this point i DONT know what else to do, theres a small chance it might be the cable modem so ill see about getting a new one from my ISP.Click on Start, Run and type in cmd. At the command prompt, type in: ipconfig /flushdns ...and press Enter. Type exit and see if it works now.doesnt work.Well i finally "fixed" it. not exactly a fix but more of a trick. i installed Microsoft's .NET FRAMEWORK 1.1 which creates a login prompt at the login screen instead of automatically logging you in. here i just wait for about 10 minutes and after i log in there are no CONNECTION errors. even the programs that never used to work now can access the internet without a problem like BF2 and Steam. so thanks to all who replied and tried to help me fix this problem.
