Time for some help on this one. Just set up my NetGear WGR614V2 wireless router in the house. I'm running two machines with WG311 wireless PCI NICs. Now, for the drama.

I'm running DHCP off the router, and the router picks up my IP and DNS addresses from my ISP. I can ping both machines inside the router, but nothing outside. The error message identifies no DNS servers to resolve. I've called my ISP and the DNS is working. I've dropped one machine back to being hooked directly into my cable modem and can hit the web anywhere. So the problem is with my router. Problem is, what is the problem?

I'm not running WEP, yet. Router status page shows the IP assigned by my ISP and the DNS.

I've done hard resets, rebooted every **** thing in order, and still no go. No services are turned off, except for Messenger and SSDP.

Any ideas?

Found the solution. I had to upload the current firmware update. Guess NetGear needs to update their documentation CD.

Glad you found it, we just had that problem the other day.

I wish I could say that NetGear's online support was good, but the telephone support wasn't much better. No mention of needing to upgrade the firmware. It's still a good product, but needs more in the way of online technical support.

what OS's are you using pn all of your computers?

[vanderl7]

Do you have a firewall or virus scan on any of your computers?

[homiebrah]

Windows XP Pro SP1 and no firewall. The problem was not OS related, but a firmware upgrade to the router itself.

hey...I've had this problem twice with the same router, version 1 edition. For some reason the cable modem's cache is corrupted and needs to cleared. Turn off the router and cable modem for 5 minutes, turn back on and everything is wonderful.
