Re: Internet Connection not working but network is..

Hi Kerry,

I have a similar problem, I can get to the network and log into my router
(netgear WGR614v4) all settings are as they were, I use static IP's to keep
my media player happy. Yet I too cannot get an outside link. Outlook 2003
does not access either.

My XP machines and my PDA connect happily.

Basic network settings are;

Router 192.168.X.1
PC 192.168.x.3
Sub net 255.255.255.0
gateway as per router
DNS server as per router.

Can you please give a little more detail as to your workaround suggestion?
