Yahoo photo sharing
« on: January 30, 2010, 07:54:01 AM »
Before replacing the router I thought I would come here for some help. If I connect the computer straight to the cable modem I am able to use yahoo photo sharing and send and recieve files. As soon as I connect through the router it stops working. I have tried everything I can think of with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

OS on PC: Firewall and AV off? Once a new device (router) is added, most firewalls and AV see this as a new network and block a lot of connections.

But I can take the cable and plug it straight into the cable modem and it will work. without changing anything I can put the cables back so I connect through the router and it stops working

Please, do not argue this: You're system has already been configured to work directly connected to the cable modem.  ::)

So please check your PC's AV and firewall (turn them completely off) for error resolution sake

Does the site use activeX? If so uncheck all the securespot stuff inside the router and then test. Clear your cache and try agian.

all firewalls turned off and it still does not work. There is no doubt in my mind it has something to do with the DIR-655. I upgraded from a belkin router to this one. Prior to that everthing worked fine.

Make sure you cycle the power on cable modem when switching the cable back and forth between the computer and the router.  The modem needs to reboot itself to pick up the MAC address of the item that it is connected to.

I think some more info might reduce the "guess factor". The Belkin part was new and G. knows what else is set on the network/router...

Are you sure that your modem and new router are not defaulting to same IP address (192.168.0.1)? This might be the root cause of your problems.
