I'm running Windows XP SP2 Home, I can ping local computers by name or
IP, can ping remote computers (i.e. the other side of the router) by ip
addresses but host names (see below). I can browse the local network
but cannot access websites either by host name or IP. Other computers
on same network with similar settings work fine. The computer was
previously connected to a university network which may have something
to do with it. DHCP doesn't work so I have manually assigned the
addresses. I have tried "ipconfig /flushdns" with no success.
Any help much appreicated.
The following may be useful: (bits after "<--" are comments)
