I am not being smart but you have a powerful tool GOOGLE.

Your pc has a firewall and the router has a firewall the two mess with the other and that is was causes your packet loss.

You have 3 options look at the model number of your router look up the password for it online give the model number and ask does anybody here know the password or lastly ring 1908 and ask for the password.

I just read the manual there is no password unless you set it up.

Huh? That makes no sense!
I've been able to access my modem since I got it, but never though the Firewall would cause all the problems i've been having (plus, there's no metion of the firewall in that!)

Would turning off the firewall on the router make x-box live faster or is it just the

firewalls between the comp and the router that cause packet loss

If you have your firewall turned off on your computer and you hook up to an open Internet connection you will soon know about problems.

The other poster was stuck on the password screen the manual solved his problem.

A firewall blocks ports to stop you PC being hacked.
Two firewalls working together one in the PC and one in the router is a disaster.

Let you know one other thing installing two anti-virus programs on the one PC causes the PC to shut down.

Anyway I am glad your connection is better now.:)

Yea!!
Finally sorted it



Thanks to the people for solving above.

The firewall is complex you can configure it to open some ports and close others.

An XBOX is not going to be hacked and once the PC has it's own firewall it's safe enough.

A firewall has many different settings.

I find the most simple setting is off.

Setting up router firewalls for beginners have fun.

Quick question lads, I'm in D14 and the UPC site says we're good for all services, grand. Thing is, our phone line was routed to Rathmines when we moved here, something to do with keeping our number I think. Rathmines only get Digital Tv and Digital+. Does this mean we cant get the 30Mb

Is your phone line forwarded ( by eircom) from say a Ballyfermot number to a Rathmines number ...do you still pay eircom €10 a month plus for this service ??
