And, like I've said before, changed MTU in XP to 1492 or some sites take forever to open or do not work at all.
Notice that I enabled uPnP in router and also enabled uPnP in XP. This enabled file sending and receiving with ICQ4 ("using firewall" option checked) and MS Messenger 6.2, and this with several friends that also use NAT routers (this is good, usually it doesn't work between two users behind NAT).
eMule works ok, All Seeing Eye (ASE) and Unreal Tournament 2003, 2004, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Call of Duty and many more, all working ok (tested several continued hours of online gaming with BF and UT, some minutes with other games).
The long URL posted here by Flogator DOES NOT crash the router. It works flawlessly (and it is quick).
Trace route inside a "cmd" window using tracert CRASHES the router instantaneously.
I will stay with 1.50.18 unless I find more bugs when I start to use VPN functionality (near future). As for me, the major bug is the MTU one. If you do not set MTU in XP browsing experience is painfull.
I also tweaked
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
So that internet explorer can have 10 (more than the 2 default) connections opened simultaneously, and this also helps to speed things up.
Do not know what to add more, please ask if I forgot something. |

| Sounds like I'm the only one who's router is crashing when accessing the site below. I am currently at one of my remote sites on DSL and I can cause this BEFSX41 to crash. Mind you, interestingly enough, I have more trouble reproducing the problem here than at my main site (on cable). I'd say that at the DSL site, the router crashes every three attempts where as it does occur pretty much instantaneously at the cable site.
For the DSL and cable users on BEFSX41 firmware 1.50.18, could any of you guys try a couple of times accessing the site below. For example, try accessing the site, then close the browser, rerun the browser, try accessing this site again. If after five attempts you still can't crash the router, then never mind.

Crashed mine on first attempt. Comcast cable here. Don't think I need to try again. SPI "ON". No other special settings. Oh and for what it's worth mine is pretty rock solid except for the known issues(ie tracert). No trouble so far with any web sites that I can tell. My son has been having some online gaming issues with a few very new games but not sure if it is the router though.
I am probably gonna go back to 1.45.7 to see if I see any changes in web browsing and my sons gaming issues. |
