RE: problem with connecting to internet

try resetting the router to its default settings and then set it up again. Sounds like the software has got confused. Somewhere on the router will be a small hole, just big enough for a pen nib or paperclip. Hold that in until all the lights go out, and then restart. Wait a frw minutes, turn it off and then back on, then go through the setup process

RE: problem with connecting to internet

I find that computers with versions of Windows prior to XP often don't manage to get the DNS correct for my wireless connection; but you can work around this by setting a fixed DNS Server Address.
