Alright, I recently hooked up my router and it works great for my other PC and laptop. However on just one PC, the DNS stops resolving. For example, I can stay connected to sites that were already open, but can't connect to any new sites. I go into the control panel and repair the connection which works after a few times but it gets very annoying having to do it every 10 minutes or so.

Any ideas?

update the firmware on your router, and check the dhcp lease times. if you want a quick fix tho, just force the DNS on the machine through the network adapaters properties rather then using "assign automatically"
