microsoft vista wireless router problems

Having a DNS problem connecting to the internet on Window’s Vista, any help?

I can connect to the wireless router alright, but there is still no Internet connection. I ran a diagnostic and it comes up with this:

*There may be a problem with the Domain Name Servers (DNS)

Windows attempted to find the well known host “www.microsoft.com” using DNS. The server responded that the name was unknown.*

Can anyone help me fix this problem? I can’t find anything on the Internet. (Just to let you know I am using a separate computer to ask this question. I CANNOT connect to the Internet at ALL on the other computer running Vista).
I did forget one small detail about the computer running Vista… it’s a laptop, an HP Compaq Presario C700, if that helps any.

Don’t know for sure but it sounds like you aren’t getting all the DHCP data issued. Check your connection settings and be SURE dns is also set to automatic! – Click on the wireless connection, click properties, click on the Internet/TCP-IP settings and be sure that all is set to AUTO.

There are known issues with VISTA and DHCP servers… see this note from MS. (Seems they are at it again!!)

You can also SET the correct values if you like.. just go to the Internet properties as above and enter your IP manually along with the ROUTERS address as the DNS server! If you do this just use an IP address that is NOT in the routers DHCP pool!
I did that after a few days of aggrevation and it works fine!

Aren’t we glad MS fixed these “Network Issues” with VISTA
