Help Connecting NT 4.0 to Internet via LAN

Trying to reinstall Windows NT 4.0 and reconnect it to the internet via LAN
with FreeBSD 4.9 as the server.

I had previously attempted to repair a corrupted system file in my NT box
but was unsuccessful.  I ended up reinstalling back to the original Service
Pack 1.   My plan now is to upgrade the IE browser and OS on-line but I'm
having trouble getting the browser to work.

At this stage, the NT box can ping web sites successfully using
their IP address but not the URL name.  The browser will search and find
a website but eventually responds with "Could not open ..."

Would appreciate any troubleshooting advice you have time to relay.

Thanks,
Bob Perry.
