Trying to set up wireless network in clients office... I keept getting an IP conflict, so I set the IP address on one computer to static, 192.168.0.150, the other computer is dynamic IP address.. For the computer with static IP address, I used 4.2.2.2 for the DNS server... Still could get no connection, so I tried pinging the wireless router, that worked, tried pinging 4.2.2.2, that worked, tried to ping www.yahoo.com, that didn't work, then tried pinging the IP address for yahoo, and that worked... So I come to the conclusion the computer is having trouble resolving DNS... Any ideas on how to fix this?! It's driving me crazy... I tried uninstalling TCP/IP protocol and reinstalling, that didn't work... Please help!

Thanks!

Both pc's should be able to lease an IP from the router via DHCP; what have you set the router for: Automatic or Static? What is the other pc like when attempting to connect to Yahoo?
