hi there
I have just recently bought an ASUS wl-500g wireless router and have upgraded the firmware to 1.8.1.9. Some stuff such as : msn messenger, web based email accounts (e.g.hotmail, gmail), online gaming (e.g.yahoo games) and other secure websites DO NOT WORK! Please Help!!

Some things we need to know. For example what are your settings? Standard settings or did you play with the port settings.
What is your operation system? (if xp=compatible with Upnp. When enables this automatically set the port settings for the program u use that time)
Some small tips:
Try to set the firewall of the router off. Do it with your firewall on the pc too. (windows firewall sometimes doing strange. Mostly with sp1)
Hope u can do something with this.

hi there,
thanx for all the suggestions. yes I have shut the windows firewall and the router firewall is disabled aswell, the only one i have is zonealarm pro. but I have tried shutting that off aswell and the things still dont work. all the things i mentioned didnt work when there were standard settings so I played a bit with the port triggers,which didnt work either, so Ive reverted it back to default settings. WEP is disabled,firewalls are disabled. and yes i have Windows XP (home ed.)
