internet doesnt work

[youm0nt Veteran]

I brought my router to my grandparents, they have DSL, and although the internet works, certian things dont work. Such as posting new topics, accessing Dell's site (building a new system) and a few other things. But strangly enough, replying to a topic works just fine.

The DSL modem is a Westell 2200 and the router is a D-Link DI-524.

caveman017 wanted me to post this for him. ;)

hooking directly up to the modem its fine too

the DSL modem has a router built in sort of (only 1 port)

The modem will log into the DSL connection automatically also

i have the wifi router setup for auto since PPPoE doesnt work

does anyone know? internet is bellsouth.net

[Brandon]

I just thought of somthing... would the MTU do anything?

[Revenant]

So, Internets working but you cant post to boards? Anything filtered? Default MTU values shouldnt be a problem.

I cant do cirtian things like post new topics, post a reply (but quick reply works), build a dell computer and a few things like that. Page just times out. No filtering that isnt on at home

I used to have a similar set up, I used a D Link router and my ISP was bellsouth. I had a lot of similar problems, also. I could not access some sites, and did not get full functionality on all sites that I could visit. I concluded that the router was the problem, but it turned out to be a combination of the router and bellsouth. Bellsouth seems to have problems with novell sites such as yahoo, and some D Link routers seem to really tamper with flash sites and forums. Never could figure out how to work around it, so I switched ISPs and bought a link sys. Problem solved.
