Might have the same issue with a different router if your using DSL and PPPoE. I've seen this before, the router needs to be setup well if your using DSL. The DSL modem you have probably has a router built in and thus is not allowing for proper NAT translation. The DSL modem needs to be bridged so that the 4500 or any other router you connect with it will get the public IP address from the ISP WAN side. This will allow the router to properly NAT the connections and get connected to gaming services. I bet your DSL modem is handing off a private 192.168 address to the WAN side of the 4500. This will get you internet however specific services like gaming will not be connected since he can't get thru to the public IP address. I have helped set up several DSL modems like this that use PPPoE and have the router built in. All you have to do is call the ISP and tell them that you have your own router that you want to use and to bridge the DSL modem to the router. It works, trust me. You need to do this with any router you attach to a DSL modem that has a built in router function.

As a altnerate option, you could get a ADSL modem/wireless router combo. The generally suck, but it would be easier to set up. Furry is right though, if you get a 192 IP when connected directly to your router, I bet 100 magic unicorns thats your problem.

BTW..whats the exchange rate on magic unicorns these days? So horrible with math. Heh

I fluncked math too.
