Hi Eric, I've actually been trying DHCP, which seems to be fine. I tried your recommendations and tested both my router's gateway as a nameserver and checked what my host computer was using. Unfortunately, my host computer was using the same server as the DHCP server was giving FreeDOS and my router's gateway didn't work either. I did try pinging some other IP addresses besides 8.8.8.8 that are outside my network and I do seem to have a connection, so it must be a problem DNS-wise.
