Default Can ping but not surf???

I have a compaq presario, with WinME, that probably has
never been updated. I can ping yahoo's ip address, but
cannot get there to surf? I get "cannot find server". It
did occur to me that it is a DNS problem but when I check
winipcfg, everything looks in order?

Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thanks
