    I have lost both wireless and wired connections to the internet.

    Lappy's connected to the DI-524 router:
    Wired - HP dv9207 us - Vista
    Wireless - HP nc6400 - XP Pro (SP2), Ibook G4 - Mac 10.3.9, and a Fujitsu T4020 - XP

    Everything was working well until I fiddled around the network sharing center in Vista - was trying to set up a network printer to no avail. Now all machines can't access the web!

    I've reset the DI-524. Did not help. Turned all firewalls off. Still nothing. Moved back between public and private network in vista. Still nothing. This is driving me nuts.

    Help please!

    Thanks!

    DSL's working fine. I connected one machine directly to the adsl router via an ethernet cable to verify the connection.

    The vista equipped machine is saying something about the DNS. Any inputs guys. I'm a bit frustrated because all the machines can connect to the DI 524 but are not able to make the next step - to connect to the web.

    Thanks.

    Are you sure the router is connecting to the ADSL modem?
    Your router should display the IP address assigned by your isp.
    Can you ping any of the other computers on your network?

    Finally sorted it out.

    bearz313, your correct the wifi router was not connecting properly to the ADSL modem. I turned off the DI-524 for a couple of minutes and reset it to factory settings. That did the trick.

    Thanks bearz313.
