749935 2009-02-21 03:12:00 Try another ethernet cable to connect to the pc. Blam (54)
749936 2009-02-21 03:14:00 Which port are you using to connect it to your PC? Use a LAN port, not the WAN one.

Wait for a reply from Chilling_Silence before giving up - he is great at sorting problems with these routers :)
