Cannot find Server / Page cannot be displayed
I have a Windows 98 machine that you can go to many sites to the first page
okay, but if you click on a link on that page, you get the "cannot find the
server / page cannot be displayed" message with the following:
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please try the following:
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is
spelled correctly.
To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click
Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should
match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).
If your Network Administrator has enabled it, Microsoft Windows can examine
your network and automatically discover network connection settings.
If you would like Windows to try and discover them,
click Detect Network Settings
Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then
click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have
installed.
If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings
can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the
Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0,
SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer
Anybody got any clues on how to fix this?

First eliminate any spyware.
What You Should Know About Spyware

CAUTION!!!!! Removing some spyware can damage the Winsock stact. Before
you try to remove spyware using any of these programs , download a copy of
LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks (all Windows
versions)

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Re: Cannot find Server / Page cannot be displayed
Frank,
I had saw a post that looked like mine from before and did all the spyware
removal techniques and the CWShredder stuff with no luck. I can reach
websites that require no SSL or encryption.
I checked the version of I.E., as this is a Windows 98 machine and its I.E.
5.0, but it has 0 cipher strength. I've got to check the MS I.E. website to
see if the version of I.E. High Encryption for 5.01 will work on this or if
that is for MAC's. I don't know if I can upgrade to a later version of I.E.
or if I'll have to go to Mozilla Firefox as browser of choice.
