845837 2010-01-05 22:30:00 Belkin F5D7234-4. Not the greatest maybe but replaced about 6 weeks ago under lifetime warranty and so far no problem. I don't believe that the router is at fault. I think it more likely to on the PC; but I am willing to be proved wrong. We can all learn from others and I've learned a lot from this forum.

Have you tried a different port on the router\switch?

845838 2010-01-05 22:37:00 @SolMiester. Thanks for the suggestion. "Thinking outside the square" I will try that L8r. bluenose (14548)
845839 2010-01-05 22:47:00 Speedy. Sorry missing number. 192.168.2.10. But as the browser isn't completing it's launch the port numbers don't get as far as the router. Or am I on the wrong track? bluenose (14548)
845840 2010-01-05 22:57:00 ?? According to the Belkin site (en-us-support.belkin.com), its 192.168.2.1 not 10. So, where did you get 192.168.2.10 from? Look under 2K's LAN properties / under TCP/IP. If the IP here shows 192.168.2.1 change it Speedy Gonzales (78)
845841 2010-01-05 23:38:00 Got the numbers from Belkin helpdesk when the old router was replaced.
IP address 192.168.2.10
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Deflt Gtway 192.168.2.1
DNS svr. 192.168.2.1

845842 2010-01-06 00:00:00 Ok then that looks right. That version of comodo was / is the old version right?? Since the later versions arent compat with 2K? Even tho comodo isnt running on startup, is it still installed? And are any of its files still running in task manager? Speedy Gonzales (78)
845843 2010-01-06 02:04:00 Comodo was disabled in task manager. It had been running no problem but now I have removed it completely AND run Revo just to make sure nothing was left.

Laptop is now hardwired to router and I can get into router using IP address from browser. I think next step will be to get one of the $10 PCI cards as suggested by SolMiester. Don't know where they sell them for ten bucks though!!!

Thanks for your patience and help. SWMBO and Pooch demand a lot of attention as well so can't spend a lot of time here. But will report back as much as I can. Tnx.

845844 2010-01-06 04:48:00 Before buying new hardware I would try reinstalling\upgrading the driver for the ethernet card and before that, try winsock fix as someone else suggested.

845845 2010-01-06 07:48:00 I think I can say that this is NOT a hardware nor an Address problem. I've just run Puppy 4.3 and had no probs with getting to the router or to the "outside World". The Addresses were found by Puppy to be correct. So the problem has to be software. ie. Something preventing browsers launching properly bluenose (14548)
845846 2010-01-06 07:57:00 I could check from here if you want if it works that is. Cant do much if we cant see anything Speedy Gonzales (78)
