I cannot log in to MSN Messenger

[dunlop]

I recently installed a router to share the internet on our two computers but am now having trouble logging in to msn ever since i enabled security features on the router. I tried loggin into the router and changing the virtual server settings hoping it would solve the problem but I have not managed it yet! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Can you still access the web normally with internet explorer?

[dunlop]

absolutely

ok, what brand of router is it?

also, what security features have you enabled? perhaps try disabling them, to confirm it is them stopping the transfer.

i get an error message- your gateway appears to be offline.

its an safecom sbru 10 100 router and i disabled the safety features still no joy!
