Network anguish!

Please can somebody help me!

I have been having problems with my wireless connection and have spent hours on the phone to IT support and enlisted the help of several friends but no luck - I thought perhaps somebody here could help!

- My PC is downstairs and the wireless router is upstairs.
The router no longer seemed to be giving out IP addresses so I gave my PC a fixed IP address (which seemed to help)
- I am able to ping both the router and google from my PC
- when I go onto internet explorer it displays the standard 'cannot fnid server page' (no matter what setting I play with! )
- The wireless connection is 'excellent' and 'connected'.
- When I do an ipconfig/all it all looks ok apart from DHCP enabled: No (is this right?).
- Could it be a DNS problem?

Can anybody suggest what might be causing internet explorer not to connect to anything (even the router test page)?

Thanks,
Cass

 

Dhcp wont be enabled as you assigned a static address.
