speaking of geek help, my router is playing up, I have once got it to have a DNS server address that it will respond to, other than that it thinks it has not got one, I can get access by plugging straight into my mac, but not via the router, and doing web design, it is useful to see what goes on the main browsers, this unfortunately does include IE, so I need access for my PC, I have tried the ISP, and they are pretty shoddy at the help, pretty much follow a set pattern, anything that deviates from this makes them nervous, I am semi certain it may be the router, I think the only way to test this theory is to plug it into someone elses network.. any thoughts?
Have you tried unplugging the modem for a couple minutes to let it clear its MAC address for your MAC and can pull a new one from the Router then.

Of course that all depends on what ISP you have or what router you are using. Some ISP's do MAC filtering and only allow what the MAC was at turn up to get through ... I hate working with those kinda ISP's .. and I do on a pretty regular basis. Such wonderful things I have to deal with sometimes
