WRT300N v1 ---> Connect to Yahoo Web Hosting through FTP

Apparently the Linksys knowledge base doesn't allows outside posts, so I
thought I would add this here for purposes of helping someone else with
the same or similar issue.

I purchased a Linksys WRT300N v1 router and configured it with the help
of their tech support live chat. Everything was running smoothly
(including logging in to various websites I work on through FTP) until I
tried to FTP into some sites for a new client who had just moved their
sites to Yahoo hosting. Couldn't get in. Restarts, router power cycles
/ hard resets, modem power cycles, nothing worked. I even had a couple
more live chats with Linksys to try and resolve this.

I ended up upgrading the firmware from WRT300NV1.0_v0.92.6 (what it was
shipped with) to WRT300NV1.0_v1.03.6. Yes, maybe I should have done
this first, but I was a bit nervous about doing it due to the fact I
hadn't upgraded firmware like this before and didn't want to kill my
connection and lose internet access. When I finally did, it took about
90 seconds and after it was complete, my connection popped right back up
and I was able to FTP into the Yahoo hosting like a charm.

Hope this helps...
