Is your internet connection DSL or cable? If DSL then your router will likely need to be resetup with your connection info after you reset it.

you don't need a new router and quit doing things to make it worse.. I can help but you have to listen to me and answer my questions. This is not poker for heavens sake.

I am picturing a thread posted sometime tomorrow, from the Barrie public library, asking for deals on laptops, a router, and vowing righteous vengeance and legal tomfoolery against Philli's ISP. :D

Phili, I wasn't trying to come off as an a$$hole. it just seemed so obvious. the only site that won't work and the copy/paste has a 3 in it? I think with all the resets and stuff before hitting Comp's link something else got messed up.

good luck dude, and thank dog for your smart phone.

this is why i wanted to say in the other thread that the actual first step to trouble shooting is to check if the person is already online:p

Just so some of you who don't know about a router understand.

Powering a router and modem off/on is a "soft" reset, ie it does not change any settings programmed in. This is a good thing to do whenever you have lost your internet to all connected devices whether wirelessly or hard wired.

Resetting a router or modem via the "hidden" reset button will reset all of the settings to factory defaults. On a router this is a little (usually red) button that you typically need a pen or some other small tipped device to hold pushed in for 10 sec. If you have a cable ISP, ie Cogeco/Rogers etc this is usually fine for wired devices as the default router settings are ok for that. However if you have some DSL (uses telephone line for connection) modems they need to be programmed with your userid and password to allow connection. So the red button reset wipes that out and I suspect is what happened in this case. The red button or hard reset would also wipe out your wireless settings for SSID and wireless password.

There are a lot of misconceptions about this whole reset thing so I thought I would try and make it a little clearer, hopefully I didn't make it worse. :)

In the last year I have seen a number of people who have had DNS settings in their routers changed via some trojan to route all of their internet connections through various dodgy (usually Russian) websites that do everything from drastically slow down your internet surfing to a crawl to constantly throw advertising at you. Only way to fix this is change those settings back in your router and remove the offending trojan from your pc. Nasty stuff..
