Hello, to me it sounds like you're router is not actualy conected to the net. You should have numbers for you're DNS . these numbers are passed to your router from your ISP. To test this theory you can go to options, connectivity. Then active connection detailes. key throue the settings choose test connection. Now type 192. 168. 1. 1 Ifthe the settings for the router are still defaulted you should get a responce indicating the amount of time it took. Now try 12.15.88.1 if you get a time out then you are not getting to the internet. However if you do get a good responce then your router is not passing the DNS address out. I hope that this can help. Scott
