I am located in Singapore and running a wireless connection via
Starhub Maxonline as the ISP and i am using Dlink DI-614+ as my
wireless router. The problem is that i cannot sign in to Live
Messenger, with the error code as 80048820 and extended error code
as 8004840f. I also cannot connect to Windows Live Update with the
error code as 0x8024502D. I also cannot go to certain websites, and
some websites which i can go to, disconnect every 5 minutes and I
have to press refresh again. I have no viruses or spyware as I have
checked with updated AVG and Ad-aware. When i go to some websites,
they did a scan for me and told me that the problem was that ports
21, 80 and 443 (the ports for FTP, HTTP and HTTPS) were not open. I
am now wondering if that is the real problem and if it is, how do i
open the ports? And whether i could solve the problem by changing a
router? I am more than willing to change a router if it solves the
problem. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
