I can try. Go to "Start"->"Settings"->"Network Connections". Click on "Local Area Connecton". RMB down and choose "Properties". Look in the box called "This connection uses the following items:". Make sure you have "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and that it is checked. Select it and hit the "Properties" button. In the "General" tab, make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected. Also check that "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected. Hit the "Advanced" button and the "DNS" tab. Make sure "Register this connection's addresses in DNS". If you must, you can enter your router's IP in "DNS server addresses, in order of use:" box, though that shouldn't be required. That should be enough. If you don't have some of these things, with the exception of the your router's IP address listed as a DNS server, you want to fix all those other things first.
Ok, Larry, I have to ask... does your $50 appliance really have a DNS server in it too?
