Vista can't open websites using domain names?

Posted: 10-03-2007, 02:58 PM
I'm having an issue with my new laptop using Vista Home Premium.

While connected to our DSL line at work, I can not open up websites using
domain names such as www.google.com. I can however open them up using the IP
address, bookmarks, and apps that connect to internet based services (The VB
online help search for instance).

This is not a problem that I have at home, where I am connected via wireless
to a D-Link Router. The work router is a Sonic Wall.

I have statically assigned my IP address, default gateway, and DNS servers
(this is something we have to do when connecting to the DSL line at work.
There is no DHCP server for this network.)

I am assuming that this is going to be an issue with the router. Anyone have
any suggestions as to what this could be?
