Name of your ISP: SBC
Make and exact model and hardware version of the router: 2Wire 2701HG-B

If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines: XP pro, SP2 using IE 6

Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

Windows Update link takes me to a phoney looking Google homepage. Virus software cannot update because it "cannot detect internet connection".
Following hyperlinks or clicking Google search results takes me to adsites and other random places. System freezes, cant ctrlaltdel or shutdown gracefully.

If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms? Not yet
For wireless issues, have you disabled all encryption on the router to see if you can connect that way? Not yet
Have you connected directly to the broadband modem to see if this is a router or modem/ISP issue? Yes
If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally? Undetermined
