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.
Don't use ping, that is a horrible diagnostic tool. It just tells you
what you already know, that a connection works or it doesn't.
Try using traceroute (tracert in Windows) to find out WHERE
data/connection is being lost...
