|
|
Well i was recenlty having internet problems for various reasons which required me to buy a wireless router.
I did the D-Link dwl-g122
Instalation appeared to be stupidly easy, and eveything appeared to be working.
Bar msn.
This is fairly annoying, its somthing to do with the proxy sever (thats the router i belive) or the 'key ports' which i imagine is related.
Its strage really as world of warcraft works fine, not to mention p2p clients.
Im stumped and so any help would be apricated. |

Dlink has an 800 number and they're very helpful. |

I think your firewall is blocking the port(s) necessary for MSN to connect. What firewall are you using? it usually has an option to allow certain programs internet access and/or open certain ports. |

| He fixed the problem. His proxy settings were incorrect. |
