Hi again,

FYI, those letters didn't help, because they didn't reach the answer at 
the end. There are some solutions but they didn't work for me either. 
Also, I don't think my router is a DNS server too. It is just a DHCP 
server and not DNS. So, the case is still open for any help...

Thanks,

Danesh
