Unanswered questions of mankind

Expand Post »
Dear all,

This problem has baffled all "techies" I know - so if anyone can offer any ideas I would be grateful.

I had a wireless router & Access point intalled in my house so all members of the house can access the internet.

For some reason the connection refuses to allow me to connect to any Microsoft web pages or services. It is as if thee is something blocking all things MS? Does anyone haveany ideas or similar problem?

Thankyou for your time,
Tom

Re: Unanswered questions of mankind

What brand/model router are you using? You might want to try flashing the router with the most recent firmware. There have been issues with firewalls and long URLs, in particular Cisco PIX firewalls.

Re: Unanswered questions of mankind

Are you able to access the pages if you connect the ADSL modem directly to your computer?

Well, google found one site with a listing of a router name 'Asymmetric DSL Solution'. http://www.wit.co.th/prod.htm

Do you have a model number for this router? or could you look through the website above and find it in there, or maybe even find the website for us(this option preferred)? As everyone else has pretty much said, it's probably a firewall issue of some sort.. since it works without the router, it's probably in the router.

Now to define flashing the router - it means to update the firmware within the router. In order to do this, you will need to find the manufacturer's website or another(probably non-official) website to get an upgraded firmware from.

Since I'm requesting info, I may as well request the rest that I may ask for:

1.) Operating System + Service Pack
2.) type of modem - brand name and model number
3.) firewall/security software on your pc
