Linksys router and secure pages WAG200G

NatTelford · 14-06-2007, 22:22

Hi All.

I have recently setup a rig for someone i know. One laptop one desktop. All is fine, except for the fact that neither the desktop (wireless) or desktop (wired) can access the secure pages. for example both can access www.google.co.uk but neither can access www.hotmail.com or msn wont work etc. The firewall is off on the router and i can ping hotmail. the router model number is WAG200G. If the router is removed the desktop works fine. Any ideas on how i can sort this out? i can understand if the firewall was on
