My father has signed up with BT broadband and connects on a D-link
DSL- G624T wireless router which he was using on his old isp
(talktalk) but we find that on a lot of different sites we get the
"Internet Explorer cannot display the web page" screen, these site
are up and running as I can get them on my computer from my home,
though I'm not on BT. I can't workout what is causing this as his
Internet Explorer 7 settings have not been altered since the
change. Could it be a problem with his PC or something to do with
BT?. Any advice or clues would be welcome. Trevor Smith

Either the pages are not available via BT, there is a fault,
servers are busy, he has a hosts list to filter sites, the DNS
server could be down or there is a problem with the router.
It all depends on whether he can connect to other sites or not.
If he could connect to sites via his old ISP and can't now, and
hasn't changed any settings, then it must be BT.

Bzzzzzzzzz
If he hasn't made any changes he may not be able to use the DNS
servers from his last ISP so he would get problems. Best thing to do
is to double check the DNS servers in the router (IIRC you have to
reboot the G624T to make any changes permanent) & also possibly check
the TCPIP settings in the PC to see if they are pointing to the older
DNS servers. If they are there is no need to remove them just add the
BT DNS servers to the mix.
