Netgear prompting password for facebook
I just purchased a Netgear wireless router with a built in DSL modem. It's working great, except for the fact that anytime I head out to facebook, I get a dialogue box prompting me for a password:
The server www.facebook.com at NETGEAR DG834G requires a username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
I've tried my facebook password and it's refused. I put in my Netgear admin password and I get the "Settings" page for the router.
I have no idea what's happening or how to fix it.
Thoughts?

Hey!
Did you go to Start > Run > cmd > OK. Then execute the command there? That should execute the command but leave the Window running afterwards to enable you to see the output.

OK, I got it now.
It says: C
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: Unknown
Address: 192.168.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:

That looks good to me. That indicates it isn't a name server issue.

Matt!
Maybe rebooting did something, but my wife got an email from Facebook and she was able to head out there without any problem. Now when I try to go to Facebook directly, there's no problem.
I don't know what happened, but it seems to be fine now.
Thanks!

Thanks for getting back with me. When I open up my command prompt and type in 'nslookup www.facebook.com', the DOS interface is displayed, but only for a moment and then it's gone. So, I can't tell you what it says because it's there for a second and then goes away. How can I do what you're suggesting and have the prompt remain long enough for me to look at it?
