| 771535 | 2009-05-06 16:27:00 | Hello I bought a new router the other day, my old router would not connect to the internet, but yet when I unplug the Lan cable from the router and plug it directly into the computer it works. I found for tech support from my isp and they told me that I had a DNS switch virus, so I scanned for trojans and cleared them out of the computer, but yet I still cant get INet through my router, it only works when hooked directly to the computer, can anyone suggest something. | tweeder (14888) | ||

I think your ISP technical support team may have suggested you checking the DNS settings rather than sweeping the computer for bugs. Cheers :) |

Cheers :) Computer is connected through wirless dsl and he had me do a bunch of DNS checks then told me to sweep it for the DNS Switcher Trojan, but it doesnt make sense why the inet will work when plugged directly to the computer but not throught the router, also when the router is pluged to the computer I get another Icon under network connectons tab, that shows internet conection seperat from my lan conection |

| 771539 | 2009-05-06 20:52:00 | What sort of router? What ISP? | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 771540 | 2009-05-06 21:09:00 | Do you have a separate router and modem? It sounds like it. If things are working plugging the PC directly in to the modem, but not through the router, it sounds like a routing configuration issue - can the PC connect to the router? What happens if you try to ping, say, google.co.nz? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 771541 | 2009-05-06 22:13:00 | So did you reset it?? You cant scan for anything, since its not on the computer, it affects the router itself Reset it then reconfigure it |

| 771542 | 2009-05-07 03:56:00 | Unless you state clearly what you have got and how it is connected (which cable goes where etc) we are all wasting our time . It is not at all unfathomable why the router could stop access . It may be set to a wrong subnet for example, or it may need to be set up as an AP (access point) . Tell us what IP no . s are being used in your setup . |
