Wl500g is not a blackhole. Your PC firewall blocks ICMP traffic.

you're right :mad: but why the hack couldn't you answer a few days before:confused:
changed the settings and now it seems to work.

Strange, I've answered to you about a year ago about a PMTU discovery, which is done by the means of ICMP.

hi all, hi oleg ;-)

i still have problems using the router.
when i connect my notebook (thinkpad r52) to the cable i can upload a file (350kb) to my ftp somewhere located in the internet.

then i deactivate the LAN, ensuring that there's no firewall enabled, that the windows firewall is also deactivated and that the MAC has no IP.

now turning on the WLAN, ensuring that a valid IP is assigned and calling google.de works fine.
BUT
Uploading the same file is not possible.

i'm totally sure that there is no firewall...
i also allowed all icmp traffic in the windows network properties dialog for the wlan unit.

any ideas?
i really need help... :(

best regards
alex
