Hi all
I've just joined Virgin with a 20Mbit connection.
I run a few servers at home for various things so needed to do a bit of custom port forwarding.
The trouble is every time I change anything in the router settings the router stops passing traffic for about 10 minutes. I can't see any obvious reason for this and as I tend to tweek things now and then it's becoming Very annoying.
I can still access the router during the downtime but absolutly no traffic will pass through it.
Other than that it works fine and I'm pleased it's a Netgear router and not a crappy Sagem like Sky forced on me.
