Richard, you are absolutely right. I am stupidly trying to fix it myself
and blindly, at that.
Your comment is right; for some reason it was set up as "Permit Only" but
with nothing in the allowed boxes--however it had been working just fine as
such..... Can't understand why.
So it SHOULD be set to "Permit All" for the 3 boxes--correct?
ANYWAY, my REAL problem is that I am not able to login to my router. I have
the feeling that it is because of some software conflict but I cannot figure
it out.
I can ping the default gateway and ping external sites--I can browse
perfectly--etc., but I just cannot access the router's interface.
I have run an Apache Server recently and was unable to connect to
"localhost" the selfloop address.
I figured it was because my router must have been blocking it and tried to
login to its interface at the default gateway address but it is impossible.
On the other hand, I can now browse to "localhost".
I was thinking that there could have been some conflicting settings or
perhaps some 're-routing' or hijacking of the ip address but I really have
no idea.
It could be that my router itself is defective but since I have already
returned one after 10 days, the probabilities of the replacement one being
defective as well seems to be really low indeed.
Any enlightning comments would help.
I have a program that can anlalyze all system connections and ports, etc. on
my machine, if that can be helpful.
Tx,
S
