Hello. I have a unique problem. I have a Windows Vista home premium system that can ping to my gateway and other systems on the local network but can not ping beyond my gateway and can not browse the internet. I have other systems on network that see Internet and browse with not problem. When I do an IPCONFIG, I see no DNS listed but do see my gateway IP and IP address and submask. I have two internet connections (one wired and one wireless) and both are doing the same thing. I ran a WINSOCK Fix from Microsoft but no success. I also disabled IPV6 but no luck either. Any ideas?

If you can PING your gateway, then there was no need for the 'WINSOCK FIX'.

Access the web-server "inside" the router, and look at the table of DHCP clients -- confirm that your computer's "wired" and "wireless" connections are listed, and that they have been assigned IP-addresses.

The router should have its own 'PING' interface, so try PING-ing to 'ns.watson.ibm.com' -- you should get output like:

Pinging ns.watson.ibm.com [129.34.20.80] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=126ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=103ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=93ms TTL=241

if your router has an Internet connection.

    Yikes! FIXYA truncated my reply, losing 90% of it.

    If there is any 'firewall' software running on the computer with both the 'wired' and 'wireless' connections, disable it, or uninstall it. It could be blocking the DHCP-requests from your computer to the DHCP-server 'inside' your router. Restart the computer, to see if DHCP-requests issued 'during' the start-up of Windows are allowed.
