OE crashes TA

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Dear NG

I recently setup AT&T Callvantage using the TA (Linksys RT41P2-AT) supplied
by AT&T.

The phone service it great!

However, most of the times but not all of the times, when I click on the
"Synchronize Account" button
in Outlook Express to download new headers for newsgroups the Linksys TA
crashes.

All four of the LAN side indicator lights light up momentarily (I have only
one LAN side connection)
and the PHONE indicator light goes out.

After about 60 seconds, the PHONE indicator light comes back on and the
handset gives a short ring
to indicate that everything is back to normal.

After that, I can successfully "Synchronize" all newsgroups.

My setup is:
Win XP Pro SP2 and two other Win 98 SE machines
LAN <> D-Link DI-704 <> Linksys RT41P2-AT <> Cable Modem.
All connections are static IP's except for the WAN side of the Linksys TA to
the cable modem.

The XP machine is the only one that I use OE on.
I don't use OE on the other machines.

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

I've tried disabling email virus scanning -- didn't work
I've tried setting up the D-Link as a DMZ in the Linksys router -- didn't
work either.

This is more of an annoyance than anything but if someone has a some
suggestions for a solution
I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kevin
