Page 1 of Help with router/network problem - Please!

Two days ago I installed a Belkin ADSL router/modem, hardwired PCI card in PC, wifeys laptop working like a dream, every thing fine.

Then yesterday when I booted up PC, windows did not load properly, hung with a black/blank screen, I had to restart, got dos message etc, loaded ok.
Then I noticed clicking on quick launch ie button for new window gave a new window but did not load - got the "web page could not be found" message. Clicking on Go in address bar loaded page.

Now, every page I try to access from a favourite, a link or a hot link gives me the "web page could not be found" message. Mostly, clicking on "Go" loads the page but sometimes it needs repeated clicking to force the page to load.

Also, Outlook express cannot send or recieve, error message says it cant find server.

Everything was fine for a couple of days, so I`m guessing something untoward happend during the boot up crash but what came first, crash or prob?

I am running Spybot, AdAware, Kerio, AV Guard etc, I have tried disabling all these with no effect.

Belkin guy was no help, as the connection is there, thats as far as his interest goes.

Intersting thing is, wireless connected laptop is also having the same problem.

Thank for any help,
Ta
Nick.

Hi

Could be that the modem/router has somehow forgotten it`s DNS server
properties.

try rebooting the modem completely from cold, then reboot the pc/laptop

Ste.

........is that gasoline i smell?

Messed around (if I`m honest, thats the most accurate phrase) this morning with a few settings, now seems to be working ok - everything crossed!
