Bug in MN-700 FOUND!

I found out what was crashing my router after all this time...
Put the parental control keyword "aimtoday"
and go to this link:
http://channels.aimtoday.com/wrap/li...latest_win.adp

....It'll crash your router too (MN-700) ...
I hope this bug gets to Microsoft for a fix...

did you call product support on this.

Why would I do that?
I can't understand a thing they say and it gives me a headache trying to
understand it...
I just hope someone else passes this along to them...

You'd do it because it is the "right" thing to do.

a bug. Naaaa sorry let them read it in the newsgroups.

Tired of wasting time on the phone with someone that is
overseas that dont have a clue and dont care.

The "right" thing to do would be for MS to keep their support jobs in
the US instead of giving people that can hardly speak and understand
English American jobs !!!
You call support and they can only follow a script.
