How to fix LAN problems?

Last night I was trying to set up the playstation network on my new ps3. It was having problems getting the IP address I think so I searched on the internet for solutions and ended up manually entering and IP address and primary and secondary DNS. When that didn't work I went onto my netgear router settings and changed the IP address and primary and secondary DNS there as well, instead of the automatic options. After changing it several times the internet stopped working and changed to local only. I tried to repair it through windows and it said that as it couldn't access www.microsoft.com there may be a problem with the DNS. Phoned up AOL today and they said there was a problem with the LAN and that it needed fixing.



Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Thank you in advance!

Easiest Way!



Use a paperclip to Reset your Router to factory defaults, this will automagically set everything (DNS, DHCP,etc) to automatic. At this point set up a new admin password and WEP key (WPAv2 if you know what is good for you) Make sure your PS3 is set up for automatic DHCP. In the future dont set static IP's unless you are prepaired to configure ALL your hardware. If you post the Model # for the router someone im sure will answer with the reset procedure.

DNS = domain name server - your computer needs a reply from a dns in order to navigate to its destination (microsoft.com). put back dns in router and only put one in your computer, not 2, and make dns the same as your gateway
Have you tried logging back into your router and setting the DNS and IP configuration back to automatic?



It sounds like the information your router needs to connect to the internet has been altered.....
Connect a cable directly from your router to yoru pc then access the router, instead of connecting wirelessly, if still unable to connect reset therouter to its factoy default.
