Hi The problem is somewhere in the router. Everything works fine when I go directly from the cable modem to the computer, so I think I'm just going to get a new router.
My current router is a NETGEAR RP614 v3. It has to be 4 or 5 years old. I have always needed to go in and do portforwarding for things like bittorrent and sometimes POP and SMTP. (I never have to do that with the WinXP computer.) Now things seem to have gotten worse. When I try to get in to the router it will refuse the connection 99% of the time. I downloaded the latest update from NETGEAR and it did not help at all. Sounds like time for a new router. So now the question becomes, does anyone have a recommendation for a router that works well with linux? This current router is wired--not wireless. My house is wired and I'm fine with a wired router, but I am not totally opposed to looking at wireless. So, any recommendations?
