What do i do

2 wired W7 machines, 1 wireless Vista laptop. Had this set up for months, no problems. (expect i had to set them all static IPs to stop em from stealing IPs from each other)

DG834GT Router, Just turned upstairs computer on (W7 , wired) and it has no internet connection but the other W7 machine (that im currently on) and the laptop are fine . Windows diagnostic just says "router connectivity problems, restart router".

Any ideas? had this exact set up for months...

Do a factory reset and start again with your own password.

password seems to be working for now...

so, Firmware Version V1.03.22, now updating to 1.03.23.

Try Start > Run > CMD, then type ipconfig /renew. Does that help?
