Shared Internet Connection Problem

I have a home LAN with four computers that share an internet DSL
connection via a D-Link DI-624 warless router. The computer that
connects to the router via a cable has no problems. It uses XP Pro as
the OS. All the wireless connections have the same problem. Two of the
wireless connections use Win2K and one uses 98SE. All the machines
that have a warless connection can go to some web sites, but time out
on others. They can go to most web sites, do downloads, etc., but
occasionally they try a page and it won't load. They all have trouble
with the same sites. The primary computer has no problems. Sites
that are a problem are some webmail sites and eBay. I have tried it
with the software firewall (Sygate) turned off and it makes no
difference.

You can try the re-flash the router with the current or later version of
the firmware to see if that doesn't fix your problem. The firmware seems to
be the culprit in the case of non access with a Web site and a router.

The problem was that the Westell DSL modem also had a router
capability. I had to change it to a Bridged ethernet option.
