Ok guys, little problem. I've used LW on this particular machine on a daily basis for a long time with this exact same set up. my HDD fries and I replace it. now it doesnt work. All firewalls were disabled and still didnt work. tried to forward the ports as other threads suggested and still nothing. placed the computer in the DMZ, and still nothing. yes i made sure to disable port forwarding when i moved the computer to the DMZ. tried a firmware upgrade and it still didnt work. I talked to linksys and they're prepared to send me a new router, which i plan on doing anyway, but this is seriously starting to **** me off. think you can help me before i start ripping my hair out?
