Continious D/S Activity? (DUNSTABLE/LUTON) - Page 2

hatrick · 28-05-2004, 07:21

right managed to get it up and running, I can see activity when I am surfing the web (i.e. requests from my machine to websites etc) and they all look fine. But there is no incoming traffic........ though the on the plus side managed to get a good SOCOM II session in even though the d/s light is still on continuously

this is very strange and me thinks a call to tech support is in order

Sorry,

Are you saying that the incoming tab is empty or that it only has expected addresses

hatrick · 28-05-2004, 09:54

the incoming tab is completly empty, no ip addresses or anything

Thats not right,

Try resetting your router and doing an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew on all your machines to refresh the dhcp table within the router,

What firmware are you running in the router and what model is it ?

Okay, a number of people have found the latest firmware to be flakey, i have reverted to a firmware on my BEFSR41 of about 12 months ago.

You may want to try the same :pp

For some reason the latest firmwares seem slow and buggy. The particular problem I was having is that every 2 or 3 days the router would stop, no reason, it just stopped working. Damn annoying

!

I emailed linksys about this and they actually told me to revert to the previous version of firmware ( bizarre ! ) but it worked.

Hope this helps a little more
