What i did with mine is (if i remember correctly) i disabled the firewall inside the modem firewall settings or set it on minimum security, something like that. Before i did that i couldn't connect to any peer to peer network.. If that doesn't work then you may have to do what is called port forwarding...then it gets a bit tricky.

i'm already using the link... but I've hit a stumbling block, in that the site where I change my modem settings comes up as an error...

Wow, really? I haven't even been able to get the site to open let alone log in (in IE or FF) for a few days now. Hope Adam isn't blocking it due to legal stuff?

I am with Adam and am getting in fine.

Although I did have trouble, similar to yours I reckon, a couple of months ago and it just seemed to clear up.

I just had a friend on Adam try and it worked fine. Still no luck here...hmm must be some weird setting on my firewall or virus scanner?? I'll try turning them off and see.

I don't get an error message, just a general 'network timeout' message after a minute or so. Really weird...

Thanks for your help guys (& gals)

Have you tried maybe using another browser if you can.

I use Firefox but occasionally I find a website won't load but it works fine in IE

Got it working :D

Reset my modem, for some reason that did the trick. Why this site though??

Thanks for your help though :)
