Many thanks, akusaya and Greg.
ping worked perfectly, aku.
Greg: Unplugging, etc. didn't work.
But I found it is definitely a problem with the DNS server(s).
If I type for example http://www.google.com, I receive a "page not found"
message. However, 72.14.207.99 works. http://www.rapideuphoria.com doesn't
work, but 38.113.244.13 connects with addr.com, the hosting of EU, I suppose.
The router I am using is a NOGA NET TWL108R, and it has a WAN port, 4 LAN
ports by network cable, and a wireless antenna. I still did not try the
wireless connection from another PC, because I prefer getting cable
connection OK first.
There is an option in the router configuration to set DNS addresses. I tried
209.173.53.162 and 200.16.98.2 with no avail.
The help I'm requesting now is:
1) If some of you own the same router make/type, plese tell me how to
configure it. Also, which are the right Internet options.
2) Some DNS server addresses to try.
Regards.
