ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm# HELP!!!!

I try and open up IE and I get the standard message "unable to load page..yada, yada, yada" and at the bottom of the IE page, in the status bar it has the message "ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm#" and I went to google and looked all over for fixes and i tried EVERYTHING from uninstalling/reinstalling IE, HOSTS editing, running adaware, spysweeper, safemode among other attempts and nothing.

Also its important to mention that this all started when I tired to access the internet and come to find out my network card couldnt give out a ip address after I tried to ping and renew the ip I got a similiar error, so I was ABLE to fix that by going into the registry and deleting and fixing the winsock files, then renewed the ip at the cmd screen. So with that successfuly down Im able to get a internet connection and can access my email via outlook and get on to Itunes and things like that but as stated above I cannot get any webpages from IE. I even tried to install firefox and that doesnt work either. This has been going on for weeks and I desperatly need help! I can run HjT but obviously cant come here to upload it but can save it to disk and put it on if need be, just let me know what I should do and I will cooperate to the letter.

P.S. I have read with this error message its one of two things, either my firewall (which i know its not) or malware infection which it can only be.

 

Ok, thank you for your helpful response, let me try answering your questions/comments before I go to the links....

I am not a registry expert and I may have jumped the gun as far as doing that however, after doing that I went to the cmd screen and typed ipconfig/all and saw my ip,dns,etc.. info again and when I booted up my laptop I can access the wireless network and connect that way....thats how Im on here now.

And I know its not my firewall because I had ZoneAlarm Pro and I uninstalled it and tried with the windows firewall on and off and still got the ieframe error, so with that said I cannot figure anything else but some type of infection.

Ill will now try those links and let you know what I get, thanks again!!

 

Oh sorry for the confusion, I ment that I have a laptop with a wireless card from work, so I have been bringing that home since my home broadband internet modem is connected to a wireless router...my desktop has and continue to have the problem mentioned above.

 

not yet, i got a newborn at home...although Ill do it first thing tomorrow

 

YA..Ya..Ya..LOL well i just read over everything and did it now and as far as malware/spyware/adware/cache/pc ussage and all that was benifical but i still cant get IE to get online, oh and btw my tcp/ip settings were reset and back to its default settings and after checking the ip/dns/etc.. is working fine
