Hi guys,
 
For some reason I am unable to access alot of internet  
programs (MSN Messenger, AIM, Hello!, ICQ)that I had  
access to before.  The only program that seems to be  
working is Yahoo.  When I try to log onto Hello! I  
get "networked error occured [0x0000274c]."  And when I  
try to log onto MSN Messenger I get an "8002.." or  
something type of error.  
 
In addition, I am unable to access some webpages such as  
the results from Google, Downloads from MSN website  
(www.msn.com is not showing correctly as well, the images  
and backgrounds will not load) etc.  I am currently  
running Windows XP Professional SP1 on both networked  
computers, and having this problem with both the wired and  
wireless computer.  I have had the MN-500 router for two  
years and have only started experiencing this problem now.
 
When I look at the Base Station Log I seem to get:
 
2004/12/10 14:13:22 Connection attempt to base station  
from WAN blocked -- src:<207.161.35.240:3903>  
dst:<207.161.40.154:135>  
2004/12/10 14:13:42 Connection attempt to base station  
from WAN blocked -- src:<207.161.33.40:3836>  
dst:<207.161.40.154:445>  
2004/12/10 14:13:45 Connection attempt to base station  
from WAN blocked -- src:<207.161.33.40:3836>  
dst:<207.161.40.154:445>  
2004/12/10 14:13:48 Connection attempt to base station  
from WAN blocked -- src:<207.161.35.240:2894>

2004/12/10 14:13:51 Connection attempt to base station  
from WAN blocked -- src:<207.161.35.240:2894>  
dst:<207.161.40.154:135>  
.... over and over again.  Or something similar to:
 
2003/02/17 18:27:20 UPnP AddPortMapping:  
ExternalPort:1234, TCP, InternalPort:4321,  
InternalClient:192.168.2.100
 
.... followed with a:
 
2003/02/17 18:28:09 UPnP DeletePortMapping:  
ExternalPort:1234, TCP
 
Is there something wrong with my router?  I did not change  
any settings, and as I have mentioned, it had been working  
fine for the past two years.  Is there a potential virus  
or spyware residing on my network?  Please advice..

I also forgot to mention that connecting directly to my  
broadband modem and not the router seems to 'open up'  
these programs for me.  Therefore, I KNOW that it is a  
problem with the router.
