All: I have a simple wired/wireless network using a DI-524UP to acces the internet via PPOE DSL connection. 2 PC’s, one via wireless.
When I am surfing I use “right click and open in another page” to explore links. That way I can close those that are not useful and not wait to go back a page.
Since connecting the DI-524UP, I can only open about ten pages before they come up page not found. If I copy/paste the URL (any URL) into pages that work, these URL’s still work OK. Eventually, working pages will stop working, until the first page I opened, stops accessing the internet.
If I release/renew the IP (from the ISP) I get working explorer pages again, until the problem happens again.
Before, when I had only one PC connected directly to the DSL modem, I could open as many pages as I needed.
I have tried firefox and explorer, and tried opening a new instance of explorer instead of “sharing” – all with the same result.
I thought I might be up against some limit imposed by the ISP, but as I said – it works OK if I connect one PC direct to the modem (and use the PPOE software in the PC).
The number of pages I can open seems to vary, starting at about ten (ish) then narrowing down eventually to none.
If I just open one page I can surf all day with no hassles (maybe – I am not that much of a power user).
I have not yet logged this as a problem with Dlink, as I am not sure it might be a config issue??
