I have a Linksys WRT54G router that I connected to my laptop with no problem. My OS is Vista, still no problem. When I tired to connect my SO laptop to his router which happens to be the same router, I keep getting the error message, can not communicate with DNS server, and it gives me an IP address. I have unplugged the router, did a system restore on his laptop, disconnect and reconnect, made sure all of the protocols in the properties for TCP/IP were set to default, restarted the laptop, reset the router with the reset button and we still get that error. Needless to say I am frustrated because I did not go through this with my laptop. I even had the router and the modem connected directly to the laptop thinking that would make a difference and it did not. I thought it was the router, so I connected the modem directly to the laptop, this did not change a thing, I still could not get on the internet. Any insights on what could be going on?
