[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1226785, member: 193366"] It's because you've connected to a 'private' network - which doesn't have a connection to the outside world. It is interesting that you can get a 10.xxx address assigned though. Do you have anything running on your computer that blocks ip addresses or blocks/monitors port connections? Have you tried simply restarting your computer? BTW - keep your firewall off (on your computer), you don't need it, and we don't need it in the way while troubleshooting. I'm about to move into WAG mode here - where I'll say - do some standard shotgun blast 'remedies' just to see what happens - which includes using Onyx to repair disk permissions, flush your caches and then restart the computer.
