I just purchased a new desktop computer and am connected to my home network through a linksys wireless adapter. 3 other computers are working properly, but this desktop will not display an internet page even though it says i am connected to my home network. I can get on the internet for a brief period of time but always end up getting disconnected. I am getting an error message "cannot communicate with DNS server(192.168.1.254)

Here is what shows when I run ipconfig/all
