David, you have yet to properly describe your problem.
Some how, this does not surprise me. I have a very hard time writing E-mails.

OK, the search statements mean nothing. It's bogus, but all that does is
append a domain name if you try to use an unqualified host name. IF you
have more than one machine on your home network, you might actually want
that to say something else, otherwise it doesn't matter.
I have but the "central computer" (the one to which the router is connected) and the laptop.
What is 192.168.2.1? This is what people have been talking about, re: you
running your own DNS. According to your system, this is the only DNS
server it talks to. It's not one of Bell's servers, which are most likely:
dns1.sympatico.ca. 1800 IN A
204.101.251.1
dns2.sympatico.ca. 1800 IN A 204.101.251.2
ns5.bellnexxia.net. 3600 IN A 209.226.175.236
ns6.bellnexxia.net. 3600 IN A
209.226.175.237
192.168.2.1 _looks_ like a cable or wireless router. If it was your DSL
modem, you would be working, so it isn't. :-)
192.168.2.1 is the "Router IP Address". This is from the advanced page from
http://mynetwork, some thing the Bell installation C. D. created.

I did get that in HTML form, but once is enough :-)
What on earth is it? Did you forget to mention the little detail that this
is how you're configuring your wireless router, or do you not even _have_ a
wireless router?
I don't see anything in this long thread that even suggests you've tried to
make this connection through the ethernet connection on your wireless
router, which should be the first thing you try.
Certainly I have (and I'm fairly sure I did mention it; but it matters not, yes?). Before I had even gotten the driver for the wireless, I used an Ethernet Cable directly to the Router / Modem. This worked with normalcy (id est, every thing was coming in at the normal speed).
Before we try anything else tell us:
A) Make & Model of your DSL modem
Siemens SpeedStream 6525 Router / Modem. This is not some thing one can buy; it came as a gift from Sympatico.
B) Make & Model of your Wireless router
Ibid.
C) How does B connect to A (if they're not a single unit)
The Modem and Router are indeed a single unit.
D) What happens when you plug into your DSL modem
Every thing works at the normal speed. There is no internet problem.
E) What happens when you plug into your wireless router (if A & B aren't a
single unit)
