More DNS trouble

I think the computer guy fancied you, and wanted to make sure you had to come back.

There's a book in there somewhere.

Hey SP,

Have you tried the age old method of switching the router for a few minutes?
The system restore may have knackered your settings.

If that doesn't work... I'll need to wrack the memory banks. My neice had the same problem and it was a simple fix in the end. Course it took about 2 days to find the effing fault!!

Aha. Have you tried safe mode with networking to see if anything happens? Or Allow Windows to manage network?

I take it you started thinking about Morten?

If you reboot the machine and start tapping the f8 key you'll get presented with a menu... things like normal system start, safe mode, safe mode with networking. So pick the safe mode with networking.

Basically safe mode starts the machine with the minimum of drivers - so you'll end up with a desktop about 800 x 600 pixels, i.e. everything will look odd.

Anyway, it's all good. Restarting after that will bring it back to normal.

But once you're in safe mode with networking, try connecting to the internet again, even do the ping tests once more.

I definitely think it's something not hooking up to your network.

I was once sexually harrassed in a computer shop (not the one I go to these days of course; I don't want to risk that) and put it into my first published novel.

So perverted lechers? Watch out. You could end up in an erotic romance as a dickweasel who gets punched out by the male MC!

Just tried hardwiring it in, and it works fine. Wonder why that is, and it doesn't work with WiFi? Will reboot now and see if the wireless works on the laptop.

That suggests it was in fact navel-gazing, so you're half way to solving the problem.
