[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 95704, member: 176912"] It means that either your 'router' address is incorrect in the DB, the DNS is incorrect, or the DNS server is down or otherwise trashed. It is the DNS (Domain Name System) servers job to maintain a hierarchical name system for domains and IP addresses that includes a distributed and scalable database. 'Cant resolve host name' means it either can't get there, or when it does it just finds a load of mashed potato. Do you know the LAN-side IP of your PC? Is your PC acting as the router, or do you have a stand-alone router? If the former, have you enabled ICS (Internet connection Sharing) in Windows (or whatever you're using)? Maybe your firewall is locked down too tight? STICK [/QUOTE]
