Ok I installed FC8 last night and I have full access to the internet, but I cannot access anything if i do not directly type in the IP Address, my DNS server is my DSL router but I am not getting any response from this (I can access it but no DNS showing up).

My DSL modem is a ActionTec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway running firmware: 3.0.1.0.6.0-GT704-WG

All other computers in the household including mine when I had windows xp on it can connect with no problem at all.

Please contact through AIM (so I can talk through that computer) my screen name is brianthoover

thanks in advance BASIC Freak

please don't ask for help off board. this isn't a place to pick up lonely soles...

can you ping the dns server? can you use dig / host to query directly?

only reason i asked for help off-board is so i can get help while on the pc with fc8 installed i directly got the ip for the aim server so thats all i got up...
yes i can ping the dns server

i dont know how this worked but i canged dns to 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 and now i have access (one of my friends told me to do this)

Hi!

Try to use OpenDNS.

The IP addresses are:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
