If its not got it then a lot of the fields will be blank or you get a 169.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x then its probably not got an IP connection to the router. If you get this then your problem is with the DHCP settings. To fix that you could set your machine not to use DHCP and set up a static IP address like 192.168.0.50 and set that for the machine and router.If you do get a connection then you should be able to access the routers web page for admin and also ping various sites.[code]ping www.google.com[/code]If that does not work then it might be your WAN side not connecting to your broadband router. Look on the routers web page to see its WAN side settings. If you have a separate ADSL modem or fiber box then the IP address would likely be a 192.168.x.x type. If its built in then it would likely have a proper internet IP address, not private one, or something which looked a bit more random.If you can see your separate modem then it would likely have a built in web server too. If that also looks ok then you should try a packet trace[code]traceroute www.google.com[/code]and it should tell you where its failing to get the packets out. If that is Comcast then your stuffed. If and as it sounds its more local then it should say.If you can see some web sites and not others then try the down for me or everyone site...<a href="http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/" target="_blank">Down for everyone or just me?</a>Hope there is something in that which helps.</blockquote>
