i just got new internet service today. The connection stayed up long enough for me to sign up and get ready. As soon as it was done it disconnected and now i cant get back. I ran all this stuff with windows to repair it and it comes up that it cannot communicate with the DNS server. this was on Vista. so i thought it was just that computer and i went to my laptop (wireless) but i was connected to my router, but no internet available. please help me with this....its much appreciated

Please post the output of ipconfig /all on your computer. It will be better to check that with your ISP. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
