Title: Replace netgear firewall with DIR-130, now google earth does not work
Post by: markerman on April 08, 2011, 07:01:45 PM

I bought this DIR-130 to replace a netgear firewall. Got it configured ok. But Google Earth cannot log onto its server. I get the error "We were unable to connect to the Google Earth servers to activate your account" I re-installed the netgear firewall and Google Earth now works again. Its the DIR-130 that is preventing Google Earth from connecting. Anyone have any idea what I need to configure to make it work?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It is unlikely that the DIR is blocking Google earth only ..  It may be that the DIR130 is not properly configured and is not functioning correctly at all.  The issue is likely to be the WAN port configuration .. in its default setting state the wan is DHCP client..  is that what you need to connect to your Internet?
