Hi
I have Vista Home Basic in my Lenovo laptop. I have a wireless router for my net connection. However my router is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Inorder to keep surfing, my Internet service provider tried to give me a direct connector instead of through the router. However each time he was tryingto key in the DNS entry, the machine was prompting us to restart and after doing so, the DNS entry is simply not there. Essentially the laptop is not taking in the DNS entry without which I am not able to surf the net. There is no problem with the ip address -- atleast I am able to log in to the service provider's server but am not able to surf due to the DNS problem.

Please suggest what the problem could be and how do I go about it till I get the router replaced.

Thanks...
