The Web interface in my old D-Link DSL-302G ADSL modem/router only works with IE. All other Web browsers get a blank page or fail to authenticate properly. I have no idea how they managed to pull that off - it feels almost deliberate. To change the settings, I had to either reboot to Windows (which I am loathe to do) or run IE through WINE. I was able to duplicate this behaviour on several units. D-Link assured me that the modem is OS independent, but despite my complaining they never fixed this issue. For this reason and a few others (for one, their support is appalling), I have sworn never to purchase a D-Link product ever again. Companies who don't treat their customers with respect deserve no respect from me. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME type determination, and ActiveX. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser." - US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#323070, 2004-04-05
