I have never had so much trouble setting up a router in my life. Looking forward to suggestions if anyone has anything for me! Here is the setup:
- 3 desktops and laptop on office network
- desktops wired to router, laptop wireless
- the network works fine - i.e. I can access other computers
- wireless signal strength is excellent - no problem there
Here is what I cannot do:
- Cannot view a web site
- Cannot check email
Here is what is true so far:
- DSL modem shows all is ok
- Router shows connection to modem, internet and the 3 PC's
- Windows shows the connection is good at 100 mbps
- Still can't go online!
Here's what I have done / tried and some other info:
- Tried dhcp on/off, dynamic and pppoe, messed around with IP's and everything else to no avail
- Pinged router - all works well. Ping a domain and it says host cannot be found.
- Disabled firewalls
Spent many hours on phone with tech support - everyone keeps passing the buck - what can I try now???
