Nice job raising your post count there with that 0 help link

I just realised why I don't run my own electrical contracting business anymore - too many unappreciative people out there. Go and read Merlin's post, which is only one or two above yours and the problem you have will be explained. You can't expect to be spoon-fed and it's hardly necessary for me to repeat the information already provided by others. It is common and accepted practice to just link to it.

hi. you again with your *PRECIOUS LINK*

well that LINK offers no help to fix the problem

I totally hear that...ingrates LOL

im sorry our FREE help dosnt please you. Nobody is payed here to help out people like you.

got to http://www.linksys.com and email customer support. They are payed to listen to people like you bitch and wine.

I'm having one of those days today hehe.

Just in case it hasnt sunk in: there is no need to post the same question in multiple forums, it wont get you an answer any faster and wastes everyone's time.

Your attitude and rudeness to ppl trying to help you isnt inspiring me to expend the time to detail all the possible things to try. If, as you said, you read all the threads on this prob, then you would have seen this thread which pretty much lists all the things ppl have tried. Some of those solutions work for some, some dont. NO, there isnt one solution that works for everyone, but many ppl willing to take the time to try the suggestions have found at least one that helps them.
