problems with XWBN5201

HI,
I'm very tired... I spent all night to combact with my lan....:(

I bought a powerline kit with XWNB5001 for improve my wifi area.

Unfortunatly I'd some problems...

Actually the situation is:

- I can connect to XWBN lan
- signal on client device is ok
- ping command works
- if try to connect with an IP address on web it's allright, for example google (64.233.167.99)
but if I use url address, for example, www.google.com doesn't WORKS.... every url is the same thing... doesn't works...

it seems like DNS don't works but dns parameter is correct. Always I check it !!
In the same mode I can't access to configuration page of XWBN...
XWBN assume an IP address but I can't navigate it;

anyone can help me please ?

ThanX in advance

Marcello

    I'm not sure that I understand your setup.

    Is the XAV5201connected to the router/modem?

    One recent visitor had the XWNB5001 there.

    Is your pinging LAN or wifi?

    Have you run the Netgear Powerline utility?

    Does the Netgear Genie look right?

    DNS stuff is usually down to the modem/router.

    Which modem are you running off?
