Ok, this is really starting to get on my nerves. Roughly two days ago at 6:30pm, the internet suddenly dropped on my router. No problem I thought, ill restart it and that will resolve it, but it didn't. I then disabled my internet security software (Comodo), that didn't help. I then tried a factory reset on the router, and re applied all the settings (bear in mind that I haven't touched it, since I set it up when it was bought brand new, last year sometime). however using a Speedtouch 330 USB Modem, my computer can get internet access, and I can browse webpages etc.

I should also mention that when putting the router back in place, that it says that im connected to the internet (DSL and Internet lights are solid green) and vista reports and internet link, but I cant browse any webpages.

I can ping and traceroute
