I connected a dlink wireless router at home. The home network woirks great,
I can access the internet, log into my work VPN, all with no problem. The
problem I am having is with MS Outlook and MS Communicator. Each time I try
to access I get the same error "Server is not available". If I connect
directly via wireline to the modem and perform the same operations I have no
problem at all with access to outlook or communicator. I assume it has to be
a problem with my Dlink wireless set up. Can anyone please help ???

Thanks Chris

We had similar post before. Have you tried to reset the router?

Can you "try" to connect to the "wired" ports on the router?

Thanks. Do I reset by just un-plugging and plugging back in the power?

Hello,

Tried that as well. Still the same. Only works if I connect directly to
the O/P of the modem and bypass the router totally.

If power off and on doesn't fix the problem, try to setup the wireless use
the default setting without security. Does that work?

Reset did not work. I'll try to set up the wireless again.

Set up the wrieless again, and removed the security. No changes.
