I am running a windows xp home computer on a DSL line through a
linksys wireless router. This computer is hard-wired to the router.

From the computer, I can ping the router's ip, I can ping hosts like
www.yahoo.com but I cannot browse to any webpage using IE, Mozilla or
Opera. Rather than just the 'page not found' message, there is
actually a dialog box that pops up first saying that the page was not
found, followed by the actual error page.

When I enter something like www.yahoo.com in the browser, I can see at
the bottom that it gets resolved to its IP address, but after that, it
fails.

Any idea on what could be the problem? Any help is appreciated.

-rpm

There are other computers on the network that can access web pages without
any problems. FYI.

-rpm
