Cannot access websites using Netgear WGR614 wireless router

Hi guys,

I am having a problem accessing certain websites when I am behind a Netgear
WGR614 wireless router. The two websites I am having the most trouble with
are monster.com and ebay. I can access the websites, but when I try to log
in, do a search, etc., my computer hangs until I finally get a "server not
found" error. It works fine if I connect my computer directly to my DSL
modem (Westell 2200). I am also having problems sending e-mail when I am
behind the router. I can access most websites just fine; it's just these
few that don't seem to work for some reason. I have tried a firmware
upgrade, but this didn't help.

What type of wireless card do you have? Have you tried it at other Hotspots?
How bout friends with other wireless cards, do they get the same prob on
your system? You should at least narrow it down to a problem with your ap,
your computer, or the wireless card. From your description it sounds like it
could be any of them, seems silly to blame it on one device when you don't
know which one is causeing the problem..

Do you have firewall software set to function on the wireless connection and
not the wired one? The firewall software could be preventing access to
certain sites if its configured for high security.

You should re-flash the router with the current version of the firmware
that the router is using and see if that works. Or if there is a latter
version, you can try that too. That usually is the problem when you cannot
access certain sites for no reason and it seems to be that the firmware is
not working correctly in the router.

My similar problem was solved by reinstalling my print server to DHCP. I
found that I had set my PS for Manual and it was not being seen by the
router.

Anyway the site I couldn't go to is working fine now.
