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

Ping is part of ICMP and as such does not have to be transmitted or responded too, its very possible the DNS servers ignore pings.

Newport News, VA		 OK, so I was not 100% correct. I was basing my answer on personal experience.

 Like I said, my router detects my static IP address, ISP DNS servers, ISP gateway, and ISP subnet. It looks like it has everything to be connected to the internet, but NO CONNECTION on any of my machines. I get the damn error page when I open IE. Any thoughts?
