Can connect without a router; cant with
Hi guys. Yesterday, all was fine. Today, I cant connect when either of my computers is plugged inot my router.
I have two computers, 1 is Vista, the other is a dual boot with W7 and XP. Both are connected via a linksys wired router. I woke up this morning and cold not connect, and my Network And Sharing Center is telling me there is no connectivity.
If I plug the computer directly into the modem AND change the TCP/IP settings to obtain ip address and dns server auto, then I can connect. This is true of both the W7 partition, and the XP partition. While still plugged into the router, I ran troubleshooting in Vista, and it told me that there was a problem with the DNS config.
My first thought thought is that the problem is the router, even tho all the lights are on, and I did try unplugging it (And as well the modem). Was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions as to anything I can try? Should I try accessing my linksys page (I forget how to do that) and see if there is anything there I can do?
Any ideas are welcome - thanks!
