Rick,
Could not agree more! In my digging this AM, I did find the prints of the
router screens (telnet) from way back when and at the last f/w update the
router saw (v3.25). I can put it back, manually, if necessary.
Back when I was learning "router" via the List, dslreports forums, netgear,
and such, I collected every piece of documentation printed for the rt-314.
It is a big file folder.
I have started one now for the DLlink DGL-4300, but I doubt the file folder
will get very big! It has been replaced by the DGL-4500, and I now read
rumors about a DGL-5100 on the horizon. These very complex routers are now
just "commodity" boxes any more. Sad but I am getting used to it.
Yes, Hayes, so far I am very happy with the DGL-4300. I am still on the
learning curve and still looking for the site that has all the "neat"
settings for it. If it does not just burn up or die, I'll have it for years
to come.......... :)
Best,
Duncan

I may stop the scan soon and just try to kill/reset the router's f/w to
default. I know this will wipe out all the neat custom rules from years
ago, but maybe all those old rules don't matter anymore in today's
cesspool.......... :)
It would be a good idea to "re-visit" any rules anyway, reguardless...
I "re-train" my software firewall (from scratch) every once in awhile
just in case I answered a program access question/"pop-up" wrong...
I bought a GREAT router ($5US) on EBay years ago,
"with this same problem..."
The specific problem being -- a setting "got in there" that the former
owner did not know how to "re-set" to defaults...
What-ever it was pretty much disabled using the Router for "anything"...
I wanted the manual that came with it since I had lost mine (for the same
unit...)
They have a serial input jack, but I never had to go that far...
But things move on, and so did I... I'm running a Router a couple years old...
