error #10065

[Sarah]

I have a PC running Windows XP Professional which has a
dial-up connection to the Internet. Networked directly to
the PC (no hub inbetween) is a laptop running XP Home. The
laptop is not sharing the Internet connection and in fact
has no connection to the Internet. The laptop is
continuously getting an error message popping up which
reads "no route to host (error #10065)" and I have no idea
what is causing it or how to fix the problem. Does anyone
have any ideas?

Thanks!

How are the computers connected? Where is the laptop getting it's IP
address, and DNS from?
