Hello Mike. Please try to elaborate as much as you can when posting such problems. To see if you can get a ping from a website or not, perform the following instructions.

 

1) Click on Start.

2) Click Run....

3) Type in Command in the Open box and press Ok.

4) In the command prompt window, type in ping xxxxxxxxx.

 

Note: Here xxxxxxxxx refers to the name of a website. You can also replace them with your router number like 123.456.78.90 as may apply in your case.

 

See if it gets a ping or not. Post back the results as soon as possible. Good Luck. :)

so can you type in ping Google or has it got to be the I.p address

If you have a working DNS then you don't need the IP address, you can simply ping www. google. com (without the spaces).

 

Here's an IP address you can ping: 64.233.169.104
