That program won't help, if you can't ping external IP addresses.. I
missed that detail. Sorry

I did that also, set each pc to a static IP address supplied by them, no dice.
and no I can't ping any external ip address, all I get is a time out.
I think there is a problem with the modem, I may exchange it for a different
one.

I have a problem with Xp pro, been happening since my ISP switched to ADSL
modems, I lose the DNS name within my lan connection, I can talk to the
modem, and that is it. it has worked fine all last week with no problems,
I
came home from work last night no internet, and this morning still no joy,
my
ISP can talk to the modem, I can't ping anything using the Cmd Screen.
I've
tried flushing the ipconfig and renewing, no joy. my ISP is also puzzled,
they are esculating it, has anybody some ideas? i use ie6 and Firefox,
neither works, no other routers are between my pc and modem and yes the
ADSL
can act as a firewall, but that's disabled, so is KIS Kaspersky internet
security in fact i uninstalled it just as a test, no change.
This has been an ongoing problem, I'm sure it's my ISP they are just as
sure, it's not. I'm getting fed up. with the on/off access to the
internet.
I had an ADSL modem that suffered from the same problem: It would not
resolve names by itself. I fixed the problem by asking my ISP to give me the
IP address of his DNS server, then manually setting the DNS address of each
PC to this value.

Can you ping an external IP address, e.g. 72.14.221.104 (Google)?

Try this software download from a working machine:
