Clients cannot browse but can ping any remote IP

[hametsu]

I have a Netopia R910 router running DHCP to 5 clients. I can ping remote IP addresses from each of the clients but cannot browse or ping by host name. I can however ping by host name directly from the R910 router. I have also been able to browse from a PC connected directly to our modem.

What am I missing? Has anyone else experienced this before? Do I need to replace the Netopia?

Is there a built in firewall in the router?

Is there a built in firewall in the router?

Yes. But I haven't enabled it, or even created any filter sets yet.

Have you forced dns in tcp ip?

Have you forced dns in tcp ip?

Yes. I've tried both our internal DNS server as well as the primary and secondary provided by our ISP.

ok...you said you can ping by ip address from the computers but not by domain name?

Correct.

 

[burton_o61]

that has to be a dns issue then...

go to ie and type 216.109.117.205 in the address bar, and see if it takes you anywhere

try running ipconfig /renewdns (or something close to that)on the machines. might fix your problem
