Here's my setup:

* I am using a Blackberry to USB tether to my desktop (internet works on pc)

*Ethernet to WAN (from PC that has internet to wifi router)

*I get DNS is not responding now from any other computer connected to the network either wired or wifi

* Set up my network as following: Tether has internet sharing turned on and connected to Local Area Connection

* Local Area Connection has IP4 configured as:

IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default: blank

Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 (my ethernet connection so the internet connection is sent to wifi router)

I have tried everything...I mean days of effort and searching. IP6 is disabled. Microsoft Virtual is disabled.

This SAME exact setup was working perfectly a week ago with an older Linksys Wifi router. Then I bought a new Linksys E2000 and because I wanted something new (Bad move). That setup no longer worked on the new router....now it no longer works on the old router.

Please please please help, I've seriously tried everything and then finally came across a thread that got it working but then broke it with the new router....I wouldnt post if I didnt troubleshoot for hours upon hours

Thank you!

Hello Tyzing,

I see an issue below in blue Fonts, compare the IP Address and DNS, they need to be in the same Subnet. Perhaps, one of them belongs to the Old Router.
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default: blank

Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
You may try to renew/release the IP.
1. Open windows command prompt Start=> Run=>cmd=> enter
2. To release the Ip address ipconfig/release press Enter
3. To renew the IP address ipconfig/renew press Enter

I would also suggest a Power Cycle.

Please post an update.

Still couldnt get it even after fresh installs of W7 on all computers. Oh well, I'll settle with connectify for now. I wonder if it's as fast using my AE1000 as it would be my new Linksys Router
