Was anyone able to solve this problem ...

Hi, let me explain the current situation. My dad recently replaced the router that our house uses to connect to the Internet because the old one was apparently not working as well at the time. So he got a NetGear WGR614V4 router. Well it works great except that AOL can no longer sign on. It makes its attempt and then looks like it's going through, but then pops up a dialog saying that it couldn't establish a full connection and that the web access and address book or something may not work properly. From there it either just goes into its spinning ball mode or will act like it's signed on with basically no options available from the top tool bar, and none of the default windows showing. Right now my guess is that the router is blocking off AOL's port, so I was wondering if there is a specific port or range of ports that the AOL client uses that I could configure for the router to allow through. I have looked at NetGear's site without any luck on the specific model. If you need further information, please let me know.http://forums.macnn.com/newthread.ph...read&f=57#

Crossposting is a Bad Thing. You already have a thread in Networking, and while I'm sure you'd like to have had an instantaneous answer there, you need to be pateient.

I'm locking this thread because it just doesn't belong here.
