I don't know if this problem has been discussed here yet. I couldn't find anything though.
My problem is that the Linksys 4 port Cable/DSL router just stops forwarding HTML and a lot of other packages. In one case, it stopped forwarding everything. Let me start from the beginning.
About a month ago, my router stopped working. I had no problems pinging it, but I couldn’t ping my GW or DNS servers. I tried to re-flash the router with the latest firmware. Didn't help, I of course resetted the router. After trouble shooting it long enough, I called tech support. They sent me a new router. That one was totally dead. Tech support sent me a 2nd router. That one was tested by tech support and when I got it was working fine. After 2 weeks of usage same thing happens but not exactly the same problem. This time and can ping my GW but not my DNS servers. In “status” everything looked fine. I couldn’t reach anything on Internet but MSN messenger worked???? I couldn’t log on to hotmail to read my mails though. I resetted the router but this time I haven’t tried to re-flash it. It has the latest firmware. I still have the 2 bad routers here, because linksys haven’t gotten back to me about returning them???? I really don’t care as long as they don’t charge my credit card. But this time I wan’t to trouble shoot some more. Anyone got any tips for me, or have a similar problem?
BTW I’m on Comcast @home in the Trenton area.
