Re: Netgear router, Mac and Messenger problems!

All,

For those of you with a Netgear DG834PN, I've had this issue.  I have 
checked with G5PPC+10.5.1&2, G5Intel+10.5.1&2, & G4 PPC+10.4.10).  All
have 
the issue yet my XP machine experiences no issues.

It occured after I upgraded the firmware.  Even though the admin interface

says the ****ts are open on the firewall, for some reason the MAC is
blocked 
yet XP traffic p***** through.

I have now reverted to an older firmware (V1.03.25) and all is back and 
working properly.  The downgrade experience was fine and I haven't had to 
reconfigure any settings although I did backup the config files beforehand

just in case.

I went back to 1.03.25 because all versions subsequent to that claim to
have 
'special settings' for IM, I had previously gone straight from the version
it 
came with to 1.30.36.  Can't be sure the ones in between don't work but
can 
confirm that this version 1.03.25 does.  All versions are downloadable
from 
the Netgear sup****t site.

Hope this saves someone somewhere some time.

Chrs,
dave
