help with router setup

I just got a Dlink704p. I'm having 2 issues:
1. I often have to click on links 2 times to get them to come up and sometimes it has a hard time with any site that I have to sign into.
2. I can't get the print server function to work. The instructions for winxp aren't that great and it doesn't seem to find the printer automatically when I try to "add printer" in winxp.

if anyone could help me out I'm a networking noob and I would appreciate it. Thanks.

make sure the mtu's are set apporpriate to your connection here are the direct page addy's for some of the functions. I have rhe 704 withoput the P so I can't help with the print server also clone your MAC to your router it might help

use the form http://192.168.0.1/pmac.htm for instance

These appear to be normal, except there is an old version of the logs: actl.htm Access Control Menu atbox.htm Administrator's Toolbox Menu banner.htm Banner (header) for Router (Part of Index Page) dhcp.htm DHCP Server Menudhcplist.htm DHCP Client List Screen fwug.htm Firmware Upgrade Menu index.htm Default Loading Page menu.htm Default Menu (Part of Index Page) misc.htm Miscellaneous Items Menu pmac.htm MAC Address Control Menu prim.htm Primary Setup Menu rebo.htm Reboot Command smap.htm Virtual Server Menu spap.htm Special Applications Menu status.htm Default Status Page (Part of Index Page) sysinfo.htm System Information Screen syslog.htm System Log Screen syslog2.htm System Log (Verbose) Screen sysp.htm System Paramters Menu (MTU) want.htm Choose WAN Type Menu x.htm Unautorized ScreenThese are help screens: a-port.htm Appendix of Port Services Screen h-actl.htm Help - Access Control Screen h-atbox.htm Help - Administrator's Toolbox Screen h-dhcp.htm Help - DHCP Server Screen h-misc.htm Help - Miscellaneous Items Screen h-pmac.htm Help - MAC Address Control Screen h-prim.htm HELP - Primary Setup Screen h-smap.htm Help - Virtual Server Screen h-spap.htm Help - Special Applications Screen h-stat.htm Help - System Status ScreenThese are on board Gifs: logo.gif Logo pabb.gif Pointer (Blue) parr.gif Pointer (Red) pnul.gif Pointer (Blank) sp.gif Space (Blank)The default Backup Name: config.bin

I set it to that and my connection was still really really slow. I have since taken the router out of the situation for the time being because I sometimes just couldn't load a page and I was getting really pissed. Are there any other settings that could cause these symptoms?

I'll check it out. Thanks mate.

yeah. I'd do that if I didn't have to send it back to newegg and pay that 15% restocking fee and pay shipping. and plenty have people have made this router work so I'd like to make it work as well.

AFA print server, did you install and run the dlink print server and client software?

hmmmm...running quick most of the time now. any reasons for the variability that anyone could guess?

problem solved. firmware update fixed my woes. i'd also like to add that the d-link rep was very helpful and friendly.
