871w Does not hand out DNS

Hello Everybody,

I have tried for 3 days now to get my 871w up and running and have no luck. Other people have no problem apparently. I followed the template which seemed very helpful but honestly I just want the thing to take wep 128 bit connections, hand out DHCP and DNS..no guest lans, etc. I did manage to get it to hand out DHCP but not dns. I also gcannot get to it via the gui anymore..any ideas? I have a cable modem. Thanks in advance.
