Willz · 30-07-2005, 09:32 PM

What kind of router do you have and how do you connect to it? Does it run a DHCP server (automatically-assigned IP addresses)? Also is it only some websites or all of them?

Willz · 31-07-2005, 02:45 PM

its only some websites, as i said, msn/microsoft and msdn website, and iexbeta forum too, also it uses dns server, it automaticly assigns the ip address, when i get onto windows i am allready connected to the internet, when i turn the power on at the mains the router connects to the internet before the computers are on, its a mentor ful rate adsl router, i know no one has heard of mentor, the only stuff i have ever knew them do is crappy heatsink/fans for pentium 4 and router, and one good router it is as it works with aol, and aol said it would not work with aol, also i can get onto msn on aol but not internet explorer, i have the same problem on both computer, i can get onto any website at moment becouse my router aint turned on and i am using the crappy aol broadband modem wich i want to get rid of.

KenshinX · 31-07-2005, 03:49 PM
