I have a small (3 computer) home network w/ DSL modem (Actiontek) attached
to wireless router (Netgear WGU624). It was working fine for a year then for
reasons unknown it just stopped connecting to the internet. I keep getting
the message "Looking up www.cnn.com" (for example) then one that says it
can't find the address I'm trying to reach. When I type ipconfig /all it
shows the router address for DHCP, internet gateway, etc. If I disconnect
the router, I connect just fine. So I've tried using spare routers and DSL
modems but the result is always the same. Any ideas or assistance would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is your connection PPPoE, or straight DHCP? Is the modem in bridge mode?
How is the router configured?
 
My connection is PPPoE. The modem is not in the bridge mode. I just used the
default configuation for my router. Not sure if this gives you the
information you're asking for but please let me know if it doesn't. I really
need to get back up. Thanks!

Joe,

Do you have any connectivity, to any websites? Do some diagnostics:

Are all 3 computers showing the same problem?
