weird, weird, weird problem w/ DSL (help pls)
I have recently switched from Cable to DSL. I have 2 systems which are connected to a Netgear router, which is conected to the DSL modem. The DSL modem has (I think) a built-in router w/ DHCP server. You never need to dial-out from the computer. Everthing started when I tried to log into my hotmail account. I can go to hotmail.com but when i try to log in the page times out and I get the 404. When I connect one of the computers directly to the DSL modem I can log in just fine. This would indicate that the Net gear router is the problem but I used the same router w/ my Cable w/out any problems. To my suprise when I tried to make this post yesterday, i realized that when i submited it I got a timeout or 404. Somehow, I cannot use certain CGI if I connect through the router. AO is PHP. Hotmail (I think) is ASP. The funny thing is that I can use my blackcode.com e-mail account.
So what do you guys think. I don't have any software firewalls. What can be blocking this. How can I browse the net but not be able to use CGI. I made this post by connecting directly to the DSL modem, but I cannot have Internt access for 1 system at a time. Help pls.
