If that doesn’t work, then post back with more details.

There's a couple things you might try initially: The first and most simple step is to unplug your cable/DSL modem and your router, leave them off for about a minute, and then power them back up. Your broadband modem should re-train and the router will reacquire its TCP/IP settings via DHCP. If that doesn't work, then you're going to want to see if you can set your DNS servers manually. A lot of routers will use themselves as the primary DNS server, which doesn't always work out that well. Open up a command prompt, and type ipconfig /all . If you see an address like 192.168.0.1 or ending in .1.1, .2.1, .10.1, or whatever in the DNS section, then trying to set the DNS servers to what your ISP dishes out may be beneficial. You should be able to obtain the server IP addresses from your ISP, or you can log into your router and see if you can acquire them from there. For instance, my Linksys (Cisco) WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router has a status page (Screenshot below) that shows all the information needed: Yours will more than likely have something similar. Open up your network connections and edit the TCP/IPv4 settings for your network interface card (NIC).

Your router does not use your internet address because that address is reserved for your modem/ Gateway. I understand what your says and getting at but your router needs to be separate from your gateway because you are dishing out many different Ip’s to other computers. Is this the answer you want probably not, but it’s the simplest explanation.
