    Hey guys. I think my router has died on me yet again. I kind of remember posting something about it here a couple of months ago. Either my router has a factory defect or I'm just having really bad luck today.

    Anyway, here's my problem. I can connect to the internet when connect my modem directly to my computer. However, when I try to connect through the router, I cannot. I'm using a PPPoE DSL connection.

    When I first had this problem (last year), the only thing that I had to do to make it work was to do a hard reset (I used the reset button on the router itself instead of using the software to make it go to factory default settings). The second time I brought it to the shop.

    I've tried pinging my websites and stuff and I don't get anything (100% packet loss, etc.), which I guess means I can't get a connection.

    If anyone could help me out to fix this it'd be greatly appreciated. I guess if not I'll just have to try and get my router replaced.

    Thanks! =)
