Yes, virgin.net. I tried changing it in easynet but it still comes up with "cannot connect to www.amiga.org.virgin.net" which is interesting as I can't see virgin.net recorded anywhere in the router settings.

I take it you are in the UK and using Virgin? What model of dlink do you have? Mine is a DIR-615

I'm going to try another browser in case it's an Aweb issue, what browser are you using?

Would you mind teling me what your settings are in the router under setup/lan setup? I'm thinking this is maybe where I'm going wrong, although I have tried pretty much every option I can think of.

Edit: Under status/device info, wht does it say about your DHCP client and what button is pushed in, release or renew?

Many thanks.

For the record, you don't need the MAC address to set a static IP unless your router is set to only accept connections from specific MAC addresses, and generally you can get the MAC address from your Router, the DHCP configuration side should show which MAC addresses are given IP addresses.

Just set your static IP to 192.168.0.99, something outside of the DHCP range, and you should be okay.  

I know with Genesis on my A4000D with the Ethernet through the Mediator, I had to set my IP to static.  Couldn't ever get DHCP to work correctly for some reason.

Worked perfectly after that.

I am a network guy and have seen this before.  Most likely it is a buggy version of whatever software you are using to get on the net.  When you configured the initial network settings, it asked you for your home network like most unix flavors do; for which you put virgin.net.  For whatever reason, it looks like it is appending virgin.net to the hostname of the url's to which you are attempting to connect.  First I would run thought the network card setup again and omit the suffix virgin.net, leaving the option blank.  If that doesn't fix your problem, open the config file in ced and remove the reference.  This should resolve your issue.    you may also try putting a trailing / on the end of your url, like http://www.google.com/ to let the tcp/ip software know the url is complete.  It might keep it from omitting the suffix when it goes to do dns translation.  Regardless, removing any reference to the suffix should resolve your issue.  Info-Seeker

I tried adding a / to the end of the URL but it made no difference. The Easynet software that I'm using wont allow me to remove the virgin.net and save the settings.

I'm going to leave it for now and try Miami at a later date. Not really overly impressed with Easynet to be honest.
