Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages
from the Internet:
•
The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit might have been reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block, you can resume Internet access. If you have
an usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage.
•
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s
configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address as described in the
article you can access from
ITCP/IP Networking Basics
in Appendix B. Alternatively, you
can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your
operating system documentation
