I have two computers connected to my mn-700 base station.
The desktop is wired and the notebook is wireless.
There is 1 particular website I cannot access: www.mscd.edu
I am certain the problem is with the base station, because
when I bypass it and connect either computer directly to
the cable modem, I can access it.
I've already checked the broadband management tool to make
sure I didn't accidentally add it to the parental controls.
Can anyone suggest anything else?
Thanks in advance

Does the base station have Network Address Translation, or any kind of
firewall incorporated? Possibly the firewall is blocking a required
port. What ports are open when you connect directly? You may need to
specify some port forwarding rules too (if the site responds to a port
that you didn't initiate the connection on).
