I'm hoping someone can settle a row with my boyfriend who has very little understanding of computers and doesn't believe me when I tell him our Pipex connection is broken.
I ran a command prompt and pinged our wireless router. i got 4 packets sent, 4 packets received. My interpretation of this is that the router is working fine in terms of the PC connecting to the router. However, when trying to ping the BBC website for example, the response we get is Ping request could not find host. Please check the name and try again. We got this response from a number of websites over a period of time.
It is my understanding that the problem lies with our internet connection and not my PC or the router. Can someone please clarify this so my boyfriend can see it with his own eyes because being that I am female, he doesn't think it's possible I might know the correct answer when he doesn't!
PS! I am able to post this question as I have my own wireless 3g internet provider.
