New Router install,, Lost https & eBay??

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi

A round on my plastic, Shirley

My system(s) Dell 2.4GHz desk(xp home) & TP 600E, 366MHz (xp pro), Bellsouth DSL Xtreme, with fix
IP, current versions of Norton Internet Security & Anti-V.

I purchased a NetGear WGR614, v4 kit w/included WG511,, Install was simple enough, left most options
at default,

Basic settings:
get dynamic ip & domain name from ips, use default MAC address

wireless settings
named ssid, enabled wireless, allow broadcast of ssid, set up card in access list, use open system
128bit wep, set security key in laptop

WAN setup
connect auto

LAN ip setup
has address & ip subnet, rip none, use router as DHCP server

Both machine receive and send mail and surf,,, BUT..

When I try to open the HTTPS eBay site for sign-in,, I get address not found

I think it has something top do with the router firewall and the Norton firewall??? OR the fact that
I have a fixed address??

Any suggestions??

Thanks

I have a 2 router configuration (D-Link DI-524 and Speedstream 5861) and I
had to lower my WiFi's MTU down a little so I could access secure sites.
Not sure if I did it the correct way but it seems to work for me! <g>
Just passing on my method!
later,
dave
