Hi all,
I'm a n00b at networking unfortunately but will best try to describe my problem.
I have been running 750k broadband into my ethernet port and soulseek has been working perfectly as has my general internet connection.
However, since installing my router (Broadband connection into WAN port, one connection branched off to my PC, one to my PS2), I'm experiencing difficulty.
My Internet browsing will work perfectly, up until the point where I start Soulseek.
The search results I get are minimal (i.e one or two, for common things), and my downloads do not start.
I can access the rooms, and I can chat and browse user files but that is as far as it goes.
The main problem then - as soon as soulseek starts, my internet connection into Firefox or IE just dies, and pages always timeout. If I stop soulseek, this is still the case, no website connectivity. I physically have to reboot the router to get my connection back up.
I'm using DCHP with my PS2 on a static address and a DMZ set up for it, and I have enabled port forwarding on 2234 as reccomended in the SS forums.
NB: removing the router and goign directly into my ethernet card works perfectly too.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers!
