Re: Should I be able to ping my ISPs DNS servers?

In short, you should be able to ping DNS servers unless they are down.

I would try bringing up a command (DOS) prompt and typing ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew .

Then, see if you can ping the DNS servers. This may seem silly since you have a static IP, but try it anyway.

If that does not work, try using nslookup. Again, go to command prompt and type nslookup. That program can be used to troubleshoot several things. You can then type help at the prompt for more info.
