No worrys ! will be off to sleep soon !

Sounds like 'you' are connected to the Interent...but have no DNS server...

try typing this into the Safari address bar

216.239.57.104

That is the IP address of Google...

If that doesn't work...

if it helps....again before when the internet was working i definatly remember the ip adress starting with an 82.

Your ADSL Modem is running something called a DHCP server...this will give out IP Addresses to anyone (Computer) that needs one...so when you're Mac gets turned on it doesn't have an IP address...them ADSL Modem 'assigns' it one...

The original pictures that you posted showed us that the ADSL Modem has an IP Address of 192.168.1.1

So to connect to the Internet your Mac would need to have an IP address of

192.168.1.2 to 192.168.255 or anything in between...

The network mask needs to be 255.255.255.0

And the 'Gateway' or 'Router' address needs to be 192.168.1.1

This is the address of your ADSL Modem.

You can Manually configure the Mac, this may help if you are still having problems...try something like this...

Again apply after making the change and then reboot.
