Swartlodewyk is an unknown quantity at this point
can ping google but it does not open

Hi,

I setup a new wireless router that connects to the my pc via cable.

After I set up the router I tried to connect to the google (via cable not wireless) but all that happened was I got the following message in the status bar even though vista told me I am connected to the internet in the network and sharing center :

Website found waiting for reply
(and the site never opened)

I tried to ping google and had no problem with this.
Next I tried to connect to my ftp server at work and it worked fine.

I can also copy files via PC's without any problem. Oh need to mention I am running Vista Ultimate X64.

Well I needed to connect to the net to try and get some help so I plugged my old router in to a different network port and it got me online immediately. I also created a bridge so the other pc's can connect to the net wirelessly using the new router (they get online perfectly). This is fine for a temporarly fix but I would really like to fix the problem can anyone give me some advice please.


I need to also mention when I had the internet line on the new router I could connect wireless via my XP based laptop (the router is supposed to be Vista compatable).

The new router is : Belkin G+mimo modem router
model : f5d9630-4
