    I have no idea what the problem is and I'm not sure what all you've done, but before you just toss the router give this a try.

    Type in the router's IP address into a web browser and poke around in there for a bit. If you don't know your Router's Ip, it will be listed as the default gateway in the ipconfig command's output. When you're in there see if there is some way to restore defaults. I'm not really sure that that would do any good, but if you're gonna trash it anyway...

    Or, maybe you can add a secondary DNS server that knows where Betfair is?

    What kind of router is it?

    I forgot to add that some spyware will set you up to go to a proxy server by default through a VPN, and this can disrupt connectivity. I'm pretty sure this is not the case here but if you're using IE go to (in IE) Tools>Internet Options>Connections Tab

    Make sure no VPNs are set up (that shouldn't be).

    Again, I doubt this is the problem, but it's worth a check.

    I'm not about to trash the router, I am just hoping my ISP gives me a new one when they come to upgrade my net in a month or so (my router is only like 6 months old, D-Link DVA G3810BN). They sure take your money fast, but when it comes time to fix or upgrade something.. good luck getting them there any time soon

    I've poked around a bit in the router, tried some port forwarding but I really don't know what I am doing. Having a friend come over tomorrow to take a peek and hopefully resolve this gheyness.

    I do routine spyware checks and virus scans and haven't seen any problems come up from that. Not sure what a VPN is.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
