We have a LinkSys Wireless Access Point Router BEFW11S4
because AOL said to use that one because it's most
compatible with AOL. It is hooked up to our main
computer (a new one that has Windows XP on it). The
LinkSys is active and you can sign onto AOL with the
router connected, however, you cannot get onto Internet
Explorer. Some webpages (like Norton's Virus definition
updates) only are opened thru Internet Explorer. We did
check the firmware and it has the latest version on it
and in fact we ordered it directly with AOL because they
put the right firmware on it.
There is nothing wrong with the Internet Explorer
on our computer. We did check that out to see if it
needed to be reinstalled or if it was damaged. It does
work just fine when you disconnect the router and just go
through the DSL connection. The fact is we actually have
one out of the three working fine. The other two wont.
We copied the winsock2 registry entry onto them and no
good.
Since the router has a firewall in it, I disabled
XP's firewall to see if that was causing some confusion
and Internet Explorer still didn't work thru the router.
To go one step further, I turned off my firewall with
Norton and I still couldn't open pages thru Internet
Explorer.
However, when I go thru the DSL and not the
router, I can open Internet Explorer and that's with both
XP's and Norton Firewall Enabled. Any suggestions on how
to get my Internet Explorer working with my router
connected?
