OK, im using my laptop now for the internet which works fine.
However, Using my new computer today, i installed all the necessary drivers for my router and connected up to it via ethernet, and upon clicking internet explorer - i cant view any pages. The only page i can view is google and when i search for something, the results screen pops up, but then the links dont work. What happens when i do try and access a website is that it will take ages for the page to download, and then i would be presented with a "Page cannot be displayed" and it does not connect. This also does not connect to BF2 / activating windows / windows update. All it does is go to google.
Is there a setting which is screwed anyway? Any tweaks to get this working? Im on a BT 1800HG Router which is still working for my wireless xbox/laptop, but just does not want to connect to my new computer. Please help!
EDIT: Im NOT using a home hub sorry
