Solved: MSN problems with router

[Resnik]

Hey, ok i have this problem, when i connect to MSN the first time when i boot the computer it works, but if i disconnect, i can't get conection back up :/. so i kinda suspect my ruter have something to do with it, when i run MSN messenger troubleshooter, it stops at 'default gateway - your gateway appears to be offline' .. i tried to uplad image to imageshack, but it just does not wna upload, i blame my ruter again ^^ . ASUS WL-500g , with Firmware Version: 1.9.5.0 . And firewall is offline on it.

I checked google for the error code that i get, and i did all what it was described in there, still not working, i suspect i gota foward ports? but that port fowarding in general is set to 'off' .

Regards
