Here is a strange one. I am on a network were I can ping and browse any computer on my network (5 PC’s). I have a DLINK DI-804HV router connecting me to the net via a wireless link. All other machines on my network can browse the net, ping the gateway etc, yet my machine cannot ping our gateway or browse the net. When I ping my gateway I get an error "Hardware Failure", yet I can ping the internal IP of the router but again I cannot ping the external IP of the router. I have uninstalled and re-installed my network card, yet no change, I am completely FOXED !!!. Any help would be most appreciated. Botswana
