Dns server not responding?
-
Since this morning all four computers in my house have been unable to connect to the wifi citing the problem "the dns server is not responding". One is running XP and the other three are running Win 7. I can get Internet when I use a wired connection to my cable modem but a wired connection to my wireless box results in the same dns error. Please help?!?

Answer:
Your ISP has probably had a problem with one of it's DNS servers and taken it off line. The modem checks the settings each time it connects and has picked up the new DNS server address. The wireless router still has the old one. Shut it and all of the wireless workstations off. Turn the wireless router back on. It will pick up the correct settings from the modem. Then turn the workstations on and they will pick up the new setting from the wireless router. If that doesn't work, it means your workstations are not set to autoconfigure. Make a wired connection to the modem and then run "ipconfig /all". Copy the address for the DNS server and change it on the workstations.
