Hi folks

After being up to 3am trying to get my sons school project to print I am a little frustrated.  I have 2 Vista machines (an x64 the other x86).  In both cases, when I attempt to connect to the attached network printers which reside on an HP MediaVault I get the "wait" icon and have to sit there for 2-5 minutes to get a response.  The same thing occurs if I try to access printer properties.

In some instances the wait is long enough that I get a windows explorer failure with all of the nasties that go along with that.  The HP MediaVault shows up as an NT 4.9 box on network explorer.

This problem has only occured since I updated the firmware to 1.21.  I assume there is some settings that need to be changed, but I cannot find any reference to what they might be.

Any help would be appreciated

Well the mystery has a clue.

I have found that if I go into network connections and reset the Marvell Yukon 88E056 Eithernet port. the problem clears for a few seconds.  This leads me to believe there is a setup issue with the options on the NIC.

Is there a spec for the ports on the DIR-655 so I can be sure that the NIC will match?   I have not been able to find this level of detail anywhere.

The connection manager connects to the usb on port 20005 (yes, that's 3 zeroes)

This does not appear to be a port problem.  I think one or more of the hardware options in the NIC itself are not configured properly.  Things like jumbo frame size etc.

I need the specs on the "NICs" within the router because the auto handshaking does not seem to be working.  If I know them I can manually set the NIC in my machine.

If I reset the card in Vista networking, it works for a few seconds and then jambs up again.
