Hey all,
This is for all the technically savvy people in here
Having a problem with my Dlink DSL-G604T router, with Windows Vista Business Edition.
Firstly, i am having trouble loading my router web interface. It can load the front screen, but when I click some of the tabs....they fail to load.
Interestingly enough , this morning it was working loading some of the tabs....but it was very hit and miss.
Furthermore, after a while, the internet connection drops completely, and I get the error message
"[web site name]is not set up to establish a connection on port 'word wide web server' http with this computer"
BUT, when i run cmd...and do ipconfig, everything looks fine, my static IP address matches up, and i can ping google.com etc, and i can ping my router.
Sometimes MSN Messenger can sign in as well, sometimes not. When it cannot sign it, i run the connection troubleshooter and I am told that I need to unblock some ports etc due to some incorrect internet settings.
Anyone have any advice on what to do? All the lights on my router look to be working fine. I did not have this problem with XP.
Also, and what is also an important point, whenever the internet connection drops out...and i go to shut down or restart my PC with the standard Vista buttons- I cannot restart or shut down the PC this way- I need to force a manual re-start by holding down the power buttons- something is getting overloaded somewhere!
Thanks in advance!
James.
