Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Can't post from home?

I use a DSL line w/ a router at home. When posting on Axiom I get a error because of a unrecognized host. (Don't recall the specific error.) I recall someone mentioning somthing about opening a port to allow this. Does anyone remember?

BTW, I use a Westell DSL modem w/ a Netgear 4 port wireless router, if it makes a difference.

Sounds like a problem with your DNS at your ISP. IMHO. LOL.

Anyway, try using a different DNS. You can usually find out what DNS a certain ISP uses by going to the help section of their website (Earthlink's are easy to find and work fine with Axiom's site.)

Does it work without the router? If so, it sounds similar to the problem I had at home previously. In my case, I had to set Port 113 (auth/ident) to CLOSED rather than STEALTH. This site will diagnose your ports.

I had the same problem which turned out to be a default security setting in Zone Alarm.
