But on the ydl router I do get assigned an ip and dns from the dhcp server but when I try to type in the url to the login page in Mozilla (still on the ydl mac of course) I just get host not found or whatever. I can't ping anything. I tried accessing the login page by ip instead of host if something was wrong with the dns, but that doesn't work either.
