Wuestion about ICQ, NetMeeting and others

[Mazakman]

Hello ! I am running a Netgear 314 Router and I am pretty much illiterate when it comes to configuring this thing. I have been having troubles apparently keeping ICQ connected to the net. My contacts say that I am constantly popping on and off on their contact list. Could this be caused by the router settings ? If so, then how do I set this baby up better to conpensate for that. I never had trouble keeping ICQ connected before I got the router.

Also, is there any way to get NetMeeting to work while connectiing through this router ?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

Read the documentation that came with the router it will address these issues. You may have to do some port forwarding. Also make sure you have the latest firmware the latest firmware fixes these little bugs. I have the rt311 and ICQ works now that I have the firmware installed. The firm fixes some incapabilities with netmeeting as well. Here is the table
