You never really said what error you got and now you never said how you fixed it.

Please enlighten us?

And besides what do you mean by "Yahoo photo sharing". Flickr?

Yahoo photos sharing is a function of their Instant Messenger. It opens another workspace where the two individuals can drag photos onto and look at them together. Since I do not live near family this was always a nice feature and a way to keep up with things back home. It worked when I was using a small belkin router, problem with that was the range on it was very low and I have a large house. The 655 looked like it would fix that issue.

The fix was actually simple. I replaced the D-Link with a Netgear router. SImply plugged it in, fired it up and things are back to working as they should. I am not sure what was causing the problem. What I do know was it was not some setting on my pc, the standard or the speed. It was the router.

For all of you who have weird problems that you just cant fix...life is too short to get all worked up over it. Routers are cheap. Buy a new one and move on.

Maybe port forwarding the ports yahoo messenger uses would've fixed it.

I tried that too. Yahoo just did not like that router for some reason.

Did you have Upnp enabled?

to be honest I do not remember. I do know I moved the computer to the DMZ and that had no effect on it. I am sure it was a simple click of something. Just got tired of clicking on stuff to not have any effect. The new router set me back $50. The only feature I will miss is the usb share.
