Windows 7 Wireless Network resolves Internet IP addresses, but not names

Andy, The issue you're facing with DNS when using your wireless network card on your Windows 7 64-bit laptop can be frustrating, but there are several steps we can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve this problem. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Flush DNS Cache: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Type the following command and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns. - This command will clear and reset the DNS resolver cache. 2. Reset TCP/IP Stack: - In Command Prompt, run the following commands one by one: - Restart your computer after running these commands. 3. Check DNS Settings: - Make sure that your DNS settings are configured correctly by your router. - You can set custom DNS servers like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in your wireless network adapter properties. 4. Update Network Adapter Drivers: - Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your wireless network card installed. You mentioned installing the latest Broadcom driver, but consider verifying if there are newer versions available. 5. Check Router Settings: - It might be helpful to check if there are any specific settings on your Siemens router that could be causing this issue. Make sure the router's firmware is up to date. 6. Disable IPv6: - Sometimes IPv6 can cause DNS resolution issues. Try disabling IPv6 in your network adapter settings. 7. Run Network Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in Network Troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix common network-related problems. You can access it by right-clicking on the network icon in the system tray and selecting "Troubleshoot problems". By following these steps, you should be able to identify and hopefully resolve the DNS issue you are experiencing with your wireless network connection on Windows 7.
