SYMPTOMS
If you use the automatic dialing function in Internet Explorer when you start Internet Explorer the first time, an Internet connection is established. After making the connection, Internet Explorer displays the following error message:

Server not found or DNS error



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the DNS entries are not reread from the registry after the connection is made from Internet Explorer.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, establish the connection to the Internet manually, or start a second instance of Internet Explorer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT 4.0.
