I have DSL. I can't Ping in msdos or with pingplotter. And one would think that it would mean I wasn't getting any packets back due to someone's security settings or something but that's not the response I get. PP says "couldn't resolve host name www.yahoo.com" for example. That doesn't make any sense to me. MSDOS ping says "unkown host". I have no problems getting to yahoo or google or anything so I can't understand this. ANyone have any ideas on what this means? Thanks for your help! <img src="/forums/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />
