The Internet has a service called the Domain Name Service (DNS), which allows users to enter an easily remembered host name, such as www.linksys.com, instead of numerical TCP/IP addresses to access Internet resources. The DNS Name Lookup tool will return the numericalTCP/IP address of a host name.

If this test is successful, try pinging devices outside the ISP. This will show if the problem lies with the ISP’s connection.
