Yeah the solution ended up being to assign the DNS servers statically.

It works now.

However I do have another problem.

I replaced the switch that I did have there with a Wireless router.

Now since this is a dialup connection, I don't actually have anything connected to the WAN port on the Netgear router. Instead I have my Desktop PC which has the 56k connection hard wired into the wireless router, then I set my laptop to access the internet through the desktop.

First what I did was assign static IP's to both computers, then I assigned my ISP's DNS servers to my laptop.

I fire up IE, and it says finding webiste www.yahoo.com

It then finds the IP address for it but can not pull up the page for some reason.
Its resolving the Name but just won't bring the page up.

A week later I took my laptop to a hotel that had wireless internet there, and everything worked fine, but I just can't access by 56k connection at home via the wireless network.
