good old d-link 604 - ah the momories - i gave mine away some time ago when i went wireless but i have fond memories nonetheless - so tiny it was.....
think i have a d-link 704P+ just now which i suspect is very similar- will take a look tonight to see if anything comes to mind. can you not just ask alex what he did and ask him to try changing it back to see if that helps?
otherwise, if everything else fails, how about taking a big toke and heading on down to your local cybercafe - we all desperately want to kick your sorry butt.....
cybercafe assistant (cca): guten morgen
mex: what? yes, counter-strike, machine, what? erm counter-strike? game? what? do you?.... erm... doesn't matter, danke, bye....
yes stoned conversations in foreign languages can be fun as i know very well
