I'm useing a 2wire HomePortal, http://www.2wire.com/home/hp_index.html I just bought a linksys router model BEFSR41.
Here's the setup:
Phone Jack>phoneline>
Modem>ethernet cable>
Linksys router internet port>
Linksys router port1>ethernet cable>
NIC card

Now here's my problem. I can't get onto hotmail or post messages here at pcmech when my computeris connected through the linksys router, if I plug it strait into the modem its fine. Is there anything wrong in my setup that could be causeing this problem? Or does anyone know anything els the could be causeing this?
