type this on the computer that affected

on your start search box
type cmd
then right click on it run as adminstrator
then type these exactly the same

netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit

then

ipconfig /flushdns

then renew your connection on your computer wireless or the router web interface.

Hi Reaper I just did all you suggested successfully and on turning it on it played for a minute and disconnected again. when it disconnects the picture freezes and on checking cs studio, on the provider tab it says: "Server is down or updating try again later". I press the update tab it shows that it is updating as the seconds reads but the server is red color and it will not connect. It reconnects itself after a few minutes. Thyen I press the update tab again and it turns white color

I am using Vodafone broadband Huawei Hg556a Router now so is it possible to use a Eircom Netopia router to try a different DNS router?
