The is done differently in different browsers. The three most common are Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I'll list the steps for each.

Internet Explorer:

1. Make sure you've closed all open tabs, then open Internet Explorer for the desktop.
   

2. Click Tools, and or click Internet options.
   

3. 
   

Under the General tab, enter the web address of your new home page, and then click Apply.

Firefox:

1. Open the web site you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank home page, open a new tab.
2. Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the Home button, and release.
3. Click Yes to set this as your home page.
   

Chrome:

1. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
   • Set your homepage
     When the "Show Home button" checkbox is selected, a web address appears below it. If you want the Homepage button to open up a different webpage, click Change to enter a link.

Assuming your using internet explorer, click on tools at the top. Close all internet explorer windows and open a new one.
If there is no menu at top hit alt Go to internrt options, general tab. Delete all your browsing history especially cookies Now try and login to facebook. Comment back for additional assistance.

Your computer is set to "dial using the modem when it is detected that there is no active Internet (DSL or cable-modem) connection".

Within Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Connections, and set it to "never dial".

When you click on the home icon that is taking you to your homepage (Yahoo! is generally the default). IE isn't the greatest browser, anyway...try downloading Firefox. It's a lot better.

Open Internet exploier: click Tools under General Tab, see the box for changing home page.

when you say that everything works when the router is NOT hooked up to the PC, does that mean that you have the DSL modem connected directly to the computer?

then, when you hook up the router, you're connecting it BETWEEN the DSL modem and your computer?

You probably need to log in to your router and set it up to connect through the DSL modem to the internet: it may not do it automatically.

is this computer running windows XP?

if so, go to control panel, then network connections.

if you double click on the local area connection, and go to the support tab, it should list something like this:

Address type: assigned by DHCP
IP address: 10.0.1.100
Default gateway: 10.0.1.1

Try opening internet explorer, and typing in the numbers it lists for default gateway.  hopefully, that will bring up the configuration screen for your router.

Yes, Netscape 6.2 will work properly with the web page-based interface used in D-Link DSL routers, however, due to problems the browser has loading Java applets and working with Java scripts all of the features may not be visible. Netscape 4.7 does work with the interface, but is extremely slow in loading the various configuration pages. For these reasons, it is recommended to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x or 6.0 to configure D-Link DSL routers. Internet Explorer loads the pages faster and Java applets work properly, as shown below. Note the tree in Fig. 1 (using Internet Explorer), representing the router´s various configuration pages and in Fig. 2, the PPP Connection information. Using Netscape 6.2 as shown in Fig. 3, the configuration tree is missing and in Fig. 4 the PPP Connection Information is not displayed.
