I thought my Linksys was giving me troubles because since the switchover to attbi.com, I've had a TREMENDOUS amount of trouble running around on the internet. Finally figured it out... attbi.com gives you a crudded up DNS server. On my segment, it's the only 12.x.x.x entry on the DNS list. Here's my fix, using a Linksys BEFSR41 router setup for DHCP. 1. Set the router to do DHCP with attbi.com, leave the host and domain sections empty. attbi.com could care less what's in there. 2. Tell your PC to do full DHCP (IP and DNS). Obtain a lease, then do an ipconfig/all. You'll see a list of DNS servers. 3. Go into nslookup, and try looking up something simple like www.google.com with each DNS server. I found that the 12.x.x.x one won't resolve www.google.com, but the other two would. 4. Go into your local connection, turn off the "obtain DNS automatically" and then enter the two DNS servers that actually work in the fields provided. TADA! Everything works. Before, I could get to one webpage, maybe two, then I'd have to dump out, do a release/renew on my DHCP, and then it would work for a moment.. die..r/r..work..die...r/r... ad infinitum. Enjoy.
