Stupid routers >.>. I'm gonna go get myself a new one that's NOT D-link.

same here, just created an account to say thank you (for reminding me about the router).

also about routers, i've had numerous other problems with routers before and i have a feeling this is due to a similar problem. DSL and sometimes Cable ISPs give users dynamic IPs, which are not automatically refreshed by the router. this could lead to several network problems including why websites won't load while your P2P downloaders still work, IMs not working could be a result of this de-sync'd IP between the modem and the router.
