Few things, does you ADSL phoneline socket & Netgear connection both go
online.
If so try using one at a time, plug ADSL into computer and disconnect
Netgear, then see if the problem is there.
Next unplug ADSL and try Netgear, then see if the problem is still there.
If problem occurs on both tests above then you can try the host file.
The host file is located:"C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc" host
You can try and edit it manually.
Some programs that check your host file are Ad-aware & MSAS.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask anymore questions.
