Brian,

This thread is not near as long as many I've been in, don't worry about that.

Check the router, and see what DNS settings it has. I'm not sure why you should
be picking up (for both MichaelLuboa and RENIERLUBOA):
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1
Somewhere you have to have the actual DNS servers that your ISP provides. The
server at 192.168.1.1 isn't gonna have any information - it has to get DNS data
from somewhere.

Where does Tidus4Yuna come into the picture? What DNS servers does it use?
