Hmmmmmmm - - - that would work well if the issue were on the router -
- - except it wasn't.

It was my main system where I could not connect through.
I could connect to the router, I could ping the router, the radio
(past the router and I could
ping 8.8.8.8 but I could NOT ping mz googly.
I could also not use the browsers on my system - - - they would hang
with an address unavailable.

(That's what was so frustrating about this - - - - the wife could use
her stupid phone to connect
out, I could not use my main system. Would really like to find out
what I would have to do a 'restart'
on to have gotten things running.)

TIA
