A router just sends packets of data to the relevent port based on IP address. There is no requirement for it be able to provide DNS servers as it never sees a normal user friendly address.

It will be the cable modem part of the software that provides DNS servers.

General Maximus was talking about the ability to override the ISP DHCP provided DNS.

My router has no modem at all cable or otherwise yet, like most, can be used to specify what DNS IPs are provided to DHCP clients. That is what the Superhub can't do.

It wasn't his problem and the symptoms as it happened didn't match but saying the Windows firewall is only applicable to inbound connects is plain wrong.
No it doesn't, anything you click on that page only affects inbound connections, and will never block a web browser. As I've said, it's impossible to accidentally block outbound connections, the *only* way to do it is a 15 step advanced manual rule setup.

The first picture only shows inbound connections being blocked. It has no effect on your web browsing.

Re: One PC cannot access some sites
Hi there, I'm having the exact same problems.

Can access a list of websites through other computers at home, but not on my vista laptop. Let me know if you find a solution mate.
