Email OK, Browsing not.A relative (100 miles away) has just installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless
modem router. She can download emails and connect to the email server at her office but cannot connect to or browse websites. She is using WXPPro and has WEP enabled on her router. The router firewall is enabled and she says she cannot disable it and all outbound traffic is set to allow anyway. Any suggestions gratefully received, (feedback could be slow) TIA Mike Hyndman Hi
From the way you describe it, I assume that the connection to the Wireless Router, and from there to the Internet is OK, otherwise the email would not work either. If the Browser start normally but reports that it cannot connect. Make sure that it is Not blocked by the Windows Firewall. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Otherwise more details have to be posted, explaining the system and what’s occurs, in details. Jack (MVP-Networking).

permit her email access. Also if she connects directly to the router by cable then WEP security is bypass, but I hear you saying she still can not connect.

Hello David, minutes out of the box (a Speedtouch modem replacement, no problems browsing which should rule out the Windows firewall) She configured it via the lan connection as per her ISP's instructions and was able to connect to her company mail server as well as her ISP's mail server (wirelessly) but she gets the "page cannot be displayed etc.," when she tries the Internet. The router has its own firewall which, she says, doesn't seem able to be disabled. (possibly blocking outgoing?) She says she is going to do a "reset" this evening followed by a reconfigure just in case she has clicked on something she shouldn't have. Many thanks for your reply.

It probably has to do with the ISP server registering the account as active and allow it through which might tool place few hours after the initial attempt to connect. It might sound like an Oxymoron but the email working at that time was probably just a "Fluke". Jack (MVP-Networking).
