Error Messages After Internet Explorer Dials Automatically

After you use Internet Explorer to dial automatically to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) using a modem or other dial-up connection and try to view Internet sites, you may not be able to find sites. Instead, you may receive one of the following error messages:

• The page cannot be displayed
  Cannot find server or DNS error

This problem can occur if Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 or Service Pack 6 is installed on your computer.

To work around this problem, connect to your ISP first, and then start Internet Explorer, or quit and then restart Internet Explorer.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0.
