To ping by name means something must resolve the name to an IP address. Most networks fail this feature and we must ping by IP. Try that instead.

I am running winxp pro with sp3 and I use a cable modem with a cisco wired router. I want to upgrade my router to wireless dual band, so I bought a Linksys wrt610n router but everytime I try to hook it up to my modem (wired or not) I can not browse the internet. I can ping and my connection looks good, but my hostname can not be resolved (error code 0x2afc). Does anyone know what my problem is?
