I have a LinkSys BEFSR11 router connected to Verizon DSL.
The router was working well, and all PC Internet programs were working fine. I upgraded the firmware to v1.46 because I liked some of the new features offered.
After upgrading the firmware, doing a full reset and re-entering all of my settings everything looked OK at first glance. Upon further testing I found that my outgoing email was not working, as well as a Telnet service I had running on port 4000.
Incoming email is OK, PCAnywhere is OK, Remote Desktop is OK.
I have rechecked the port forwarding settings for the Telnet service on port
4000, it is correct.I have checked that MTU is set to what it was previously set to, 1492. I double checked my MTU settings by doing a ping -f -l xxxx
I have tried adding ports triggering for 110 and 4000, didn't help.
I called LinkSys, but talking to the tech was like talking to a brick wall. I could tell from the questions he asked that he just didn't understand the nature of the problem (or English!).
I am considering downgrading the firmware, but before I did I wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas on getting this version working correctly.
Thanks for you help.
