I am trying to troubleshoot why I cannot access the internet from my
wireless router at home. Our wireless router is set up for dhcp. Using

1. All of the other computers can access the internet.

2. ipconfig /all reports everything is working properly including;
an address has been assigned from dhcp,
the gateway has been properly defined
the gateway address has also been assigned the address of the dns
server.

I can access sites through the connection using ip addresses, but dns is not
working on this computer. (It is on the other computers with the exact same
configuration.)


Any ideas would be appreciated.

Using IPConfig/All what IP address is returned for DNS Server ?

Also - Click Start, Run (Type) Services.Msc [Enter]
Verify the DNS service is set to Automatic and currently started.

Thanks for the quick response.

The IP address for the DNS server is the internal address for the router -
which is the same address for the gateway.

I'd look to a HOSTS redirection issue or maybe a browser issue.
If IE, ( & Version 7 ) I would use the Reset function to set all the
browser settings/options back to default. Might also help to do a
IPConfig / FlushDNS
from a command prompt window.

DNS Client is running and is set to Automatic

I ran IPConfig /flushdns successfully.

Without success. I am currently resetting IE ver 7
