hi

 

you have configured the router correctly?

is nat on the router?

is it a hardware firewall?

do you have a firewall?

do you have the windows firewall activated?

have you tried pinging a site?

go to start => run. type "cmd" then click enter.

write "ping www.google.com"

if it replies with "cant find hos" and it doenst find any ip and just dont send packages.. you dont have internet..

and something is wrong..

obviosly..

 

Best regards

the router does have a firewall

 

i have windows firewall on

i can go to everything online except things like paying my bills and for some reason i cant get into the forum on the woodworkers magazine website.
