New How To Kill A WGT624
[crosspost to Netgear forums: [link|http://forum1.netgear.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=1494|http://forum1.netgea...wtopic.php?t=1494] ]

I'm on NTLWorld cable service in the UK, and I can reliably cause my router to crash by visiting the following web site (among others):

[link|http://michaelpaulus.com/gallery/character-Skeletons|http://michaelpaulus...aracter-Skeletons]

(Yes, yes. I know. I get the b3ta newsletter, ok?)

The system is as follows:

1.5Mbit connection into a Motorola Surfboard 4100, crossover ethernet into the WGT624 (Hardware version 3, firmware version V4.2.4_1.0.1, both as reported on the web interface). The PC is fitted with a Netgear WG311T PCI card revision B with Windows XP driver 3.3.0.156.

XR is turned on at the router, AR is off. MTU is set to 1400.

Resetting the modem gets old quickly when I have to go downstairs to do it.

The NTLWorld.com TV listings page ([link|http://www.ntlworld.com/channels/tv/|http://www.ntlworld.com/channels/tv/]) is another page that produces a non-responsive, non-functional router.

New I assume you're on SP2 on XP.
[link|http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n100772.asp|This] netgear page talks about some issues with SP1 that are supposed to be fixed with SP2.

Does it only happen with XP?

Have you tried an older version of the [link|http://kbserver.netgear.com/products_automatic/WGT624v1.asp|firmware]?

I'll bet you've already considered these things. Sorry I can't help more.

Cheers,
Scott.

Yes

No

Yes

It's deffo the router. I can kill it from an iBook which has an Airport Extreme card in it, using Safari or even IE5.2; there's absolutely no driver/browser stuff shared with the PC there.

That's pretty much epic-scale incomprehension.
