Hey guys,

Had some trouble connecting to some sites for the last 12 hours (some sites would connect, some would half load, but most would say "the connection was reset while the page was loading").

Just in case it was Eircom again, I tried the opendns fix, no help.

Running some diagnostics here, it was suggested that I check my firewall settings. It was on "Low" so I switched it off, and now everything is fine. Obviously I don't want to leave my firewall disabled, so what do I need to do to get it working?

Is my router on its last legs?
