Ok so it's gone from

Default Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

To

Default Server: dns-cac-lb-01.rr.com
Address: 209.18.47.61

:sarc:

I assume it still doesn't work.

How about append these as well.
dns-cac-lb-01.rr.com
neo.rr.com
rr.com

Archangel83,

Did you already tried to turn off, or uninstall your firewall?
First try to turn the firewall off, if that gives no result, try to uninstall it.

You could also try this with your viruscanner, last resort.

Maybe someone here has some ideas left?

Your computer seems to be connected to the Internet, so it is just a small step to make things work.

Best regards,

DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : neo.rr.com

Can you remove the DNS Suffix, and try if it works for you?

I have noticed that my wireless connection works fine when my laptop is plugged into the mains. If I unplug it to run just on the battery the wireless connection comes and goes and we get the problem again.

I am confused!

How could this be possible???

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Turn off multicast streams feature of router.

It's not a router it's Motorola Cable modem and thats copied from the diagnostics screen the only 2 user options on the modem it too reset back to default settings or too restart the modem

 

[torrentg]

Does it have a configurable interface at all?

Yeah, I see it's a modem by it pulling the config sync file from tftp server at isp.

 

[Archangel83]

this is all the user options they give you. I'm just wondering if it's not my on bord SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter

 

[Archangel83]

Should I buy a new NIC card or is it OS related ?

 

[aem]

Archangel83, from the error you've posted innitially "DNS Server not responding", and assuming you have allowed auto detect IP setting. the only conclusion i have is your ISP having issue with their DNS Server. AND/OR there might be a problem with your modem.

If you have Messenger Live, try and log on and see if it can connect. If not, do the Troubleshooting that it has to try and repair your connection. Messenger Live will tell you what issues you have with your intertnet connection.

Yeah It might be my surfbord modem it's about 5-6 years old and has had some hard abuse. I'm thinking of just haveing my isp give me a free webstar modem the tech that came out and replaced my old SA box with a new one looked at my modem and told me they dont use surfbords anymore that they use webstars as they made changes too their network.
