I get a connection to the net but get a message "This page cannot be
displayed" and in the task bar I get "Cannot find server" this is in Windows
XP. What do I do? The last time this happened I had to reformat and start
over.

It may be a settings issue.
The first thing I do is check Tools-Internet Options-Connections
tab-LAN Settings and ensure "Use a proxy server...." is not checked.
(Mine resets occasionally, particularly after a power break or reset)

Hi Alan,

The LAN settings is not the issue. What next? I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Should I upgrade to SP3? Will that fix the problem? Any ideas?

What IE version is installed? Is the machine fully patched at Windows
Upate? Is this a sudden, new problem?

Hi PA Bear,

IE version is 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2151IC
Yes the machine is fully patched.
No the problem happened once before, 3 weeks ago, I had to reformat and
start over.
Could something be wrong and need to go to SP3 in Windows XP? It was once
upgraded to IE 7 with the same problem I downgraded to IE 6 and it is
happening again?

Upgrading (be it to IE7 or WinXP SP3) while this problem exists is almost
certainly NOT a good idea!!

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

Do you participate in P2P file sharing?

Do you routinely use USB keys/flash drives that belong to others? Do others
routinely use your USB keys/flash drives?

Is Autorun disabled for all USB keys/flash drives?
