updated firmware, screwed with settings, spent 89 minutes on the phone w/ microsoft support, got replacement...runing out of options.

I'm also out of options...except get a different router

The only other thing I can suggest is to get the ISP's details (IP address, gateway, netmask, DNS,etc.) and bung them in manually within the WAN settings of your router and then give it a good old reboot.

Another thing to try would be to go into the Windows settings and manually enter the DNS details within the Network Settings. This will force your Windows box to get it's DNS directly from the ISP rather than through the router's settings.

if its a wireless router here are a few things that pop into my head

ssid - is it set properly
encryption - is it enabled
channel - have you changed it on the router and wireless card?

when you get a "page cannot be displayed" error do you see the signal to the router flatline?
do you have a cellphone or wireless phone that could be causing interferance to the router?
how far away are you?

Have you tried NSlookup when these problems are occurring? For a while I was having problems with DNS timing out after the Blaster virus on the Comcast cable network...try using IP instead of names or see if your client can resolve names with NSlookup when you see the problem pop up. Also...I know you can ping stuff but have you been running continuous pings with ping <host> -t? Obviously if you're getting timeouts intermittently it would be hard to tell unless you had a constant flow of packets to look at. Also for anyone interested in a really nice ping / tracert util that runs in Windows check out WinMTR @ http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/ - this should be a common package in *nix...I know my BSD box had it in the package list...love this utility.

I have been having the same problems as the first person. I have a router DI-524 and and getting intermitant problems. page cannot be displayed errors ONLY when the router is used. This happens with all computers connected through the router wireless or not. there are no problems when the router is bypassed. if refresh is pressed enough times then eventually it usually works. pinging default gateway all timouts pinging names produces no problems.

Hi hankemeier,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:
