I have the above-named router with the latest firmware installed. It works wonderfully for all wireless and wired stations on the network.
One problem: email access
From this location I get email from Outlook and Outlook Express from three different ISPs, including RoadRunner. After installing the router (which replaced a LinkSys BEFSR81) I can easily interface with two of the providers. There is one, however, which I cannot (hostmysite.com is the ISP). I receive time out messages from Outlook and Outlook Express on two different computers. If I remove the router and plug directly into the cable modem, the problem goes away. When I put the router back into the equation, I still have the same problem with just that one site.
I have tried replacing my mail server domain address with its IP address instead, but that didn't help at all. I have fiddled with the MTU settings, that didn't help either. I have turned off the anti-virus software and that doesn't do it.
I found a citation on Google for this same problem someone was having with CompuServe last year. There is a good deal of discussion on that page, but no resolution was reached except that I think the guy dumped CompuServe and went to another ISP.
I have spoked with HostmySite, LinkSys, Microsoft, and RoadRunner. They all point the finger at each other. I should say that HostmySite is still diligently working on this issue -- I'm not trying to knock them. The other three I'm not so happy with.
Any ideas or suggested solutions?
Thank you.
