Skype works, can't browse web pages

mjleht, on Thursday 2 October 2008 à 04:40:56
Hello,

I'm trying to set up a LAN connection to connect to Internet (RJ-45 cable coming from the wall :) ) and I've received a quick guide to set things up on Windows 98. However, I'm running Vista Home Premium and I think they look a bit different. So here's a translation of that guide (original in Finnish):

IP address: 192.168.X.XX
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS server: XXX.XXX.14.134
Host: type anything

So this is the guide and I'm a bit puzzled with it, to say the least. The thing is that I can use Skype with ease but when I try to browse web pages, it just don't let me do it. Could this be about dns or something? I've tried pinging both www.yahoo.com and 66.94.230.33 (yahoo's IP address) and when pinging the .com it just says "unknown host".

Could someone be so kind as to assist me? I'm currently on an internship abroad and I'd really love to know what's going on in Finland when I don't have access to my computer at work.

Thanks!
Configuration: Windows Vista Home Premium
Internet via RJ-45

hello,

have you tried connecting your internet service provider?

this error could be coming from them because if you are unable to browse web pages then could be a wrong dns address which is assigned

Hi Vanniva,

Thanks for mentioning that. It actually worked - I was given a wrong dns address, but now everything's running smoothly.

Thanks!
