Hi,

I recently got Netgear's router RP614v2 to split my DSL connection between two computers. One of the computers is having this problem: there are certain web sites and images that do not show up; I either get the "The page cannot be displayed" error or missing image icon. I tried to mess around with Internet settings but it didn't help. This happens even when I turn off ZoneAlarm. I noticed that whenever I try to connect to one of these sites my computer is connecting to IP 127.0.0.1 For example, http://ad.doubleclick.net/ is one of these sites if I do ping to it I get "Reply from 127.0.0.1: ..." instead of the sites IP. So it seems that there is some kind of redirection from advertising web sites that is also blocks sites/images that I need.

Again, this is the problem with only one of my computers. I tried to copy the settings from that computer but it still didn't help.

Please help me out. Thank you.

I apologize, but I have resolved the problem. Those were the web sites listed in my host file.
