O.P. Msn Not working with 2 Routers.. ideas?
Hi. I have a STUDIO room in my house with two computers hooked up via LAN cables to a Netgear 4 port (+ wireless) router, WGR614 i think.
This router is then plugged via ethernet cable into a NETCOMM ADSL modem (also a 4 port + wireless router) at the other end of the house. This computer has 2 computers hooked up via LAN and uses a wirelss point for the laptops etc (yes a big house with LOTS of computers!). This modem (Netcomm) ADSL line feeds into the house.
I can access Internet pages and emails fine on my STUDIO computers, but I cannot log into msn messenger. My Windows XP firewall's are OFF, using service pack 2. If i use wireless to connect to the Main ADSL router with wireless then it works, but i prefer to use LAN as i get 100% connection intead of 40 or 50%.
Any ideas will be appreciated. I have read about port forwarding but i'm not clear on exactly what i should do to make it work and which router to configure!
Cheers, Rexx.
