Newbie Question - Linksys WRT54G - Can't connect to Hotmail or AOL Mail

Jan 10, 2005 0 Replies

I have a desktop running Windows XP Pro connected by cable to my Linksys WRT54G router.



I have another desktop running Windows 98SE connected wireless via a Linksys WUSB54G adapter.



After many false starts I finally got both to work.



I can connect to almost all web sites that I use but I can't connect to Hotmail, or AOL Mail, or Wikipedia, or Hartford Courant news.



If I bypass the rtouter and connect directly to the DSL modem, I can connect to all of them.



Has anybody ever seen this problem?



I'm running Symantec Internet Security on both desktops. I've turned off the Windows firewall.



I have the linksys firewall enabled.



I'm baffled, which is not new because I was baffled for two days until I got the router and adapter to cooperate.
