Linksys WRT54G won't go to www.usps.com |
|
|
If I connect my compter directly to the cable modem or I use a Proxy
Server in Opera, I can go to www.usps.com without difficulty. However,
when the router is in place, it just times out ("Could not connect to
remote server.").
I've tried IE and Firefox with the same negative results. I've reset
the router to no avail.
Ad-aware and Spybot had no correcting effect.
This problem is about a week old.
Any ideas? |

Set the router IP address both as the default gateway and as a defined
DNS server.

I had a WRT54G that had a similar problem. There were a small number of
url's (www.usps.com and www.forbes.com that I remember) that I couldn't go
to at all. But with the router removed I could access them. I spent
weeks troubleshooting it myself and with Linksys. They had me try changing
all kinds of things none of which helped. Finally they said to go thru the
RMA process and replace it under warranty. I couldn't imagine a router
picking out a couple url's but I went ahead with the RMA anyway. Guess
what? When I got the new one the problem disappeared.

Very strange symptom.

Yes, I agree. And it gradually happened. One day I could access a web site
and the next day it was broke forever. Towards the end it would let me read
Yahoo messages but when I went to reply I couldn't. I tried everything and
the only way to get to those sites was to remove the router. When it was
replaced everything cleared up and has been fine since then. But it's funny
that we both had problems with www.usps.com.

I agree that it was a very strange problem. And I've been using one since
then with no problem. I find it interesting that we both couldn't access
www.usps.com.

I didn't mean to imply that all WRT54G's have a problem with usps.com. But
I've had one and heard of a few that do for some strange reason. And mine
didn't at first either.
