Hey, i have a linksys router...The firewall is messing up I think. I callled linksys and my ISP and they have tried things and they dont work. First of all sometimes when i go into outlook express it will not recive or send email because it says that the server is not reachable. On Aol INstant messenger it wont let me send or recieve files from other people. I also cannot get into IRC's. ANy suggestions.
What happens when you take the router out of the equation? Have you tried using system restore to revert back to a time when you where not having issues?
Need some more info.....

You have to port forward your ports in order to allow the firmware firewall to allow incoming and outgoing packets
