Hi guys,
Again, thumbs up to OCUK for awesome service
My AM200 arrived this morning as promised in perfect condition. Running in half-bridge mode (on PPPoA) it syncs to UK Online a whole 1.x meg higher than my DG834GT ever did (now 21.7 Mbps sync) and passes the WAN IP to the WRT perfectly 
I've put Tomato on the WRT and set it up to my liking (wifi, passwords, etc) and UPnP seems to work perfectly. uTorrent (downloaded specifically to test UPnP lol) reports 100% success, and downloaded a Fedora live cd at 2.2 MB/sec on encrypted seeds no probs at all. FTPRush shows UPnP active and correctly finds my WAN IP.
HOWEVER, bloomin' Windows Live Messenger no longer works for Remote Assistance. Manually saving a remote assistance invite and sending that won't work either. I've double checked the file contains my WAN IP (it does), and I have even disabled the XP firewall but it just errors out at the "expert" end with a generic "could not resolve host DNS" or similar
Has anyone got any ideas?? It's weird how ALL UPnP seems to work fine, except Remote Assistance grr. I use it quite a lot with mates so this is a huge pain. FWIW, the WRT does show up the correct port in UPnP when Remote Assistance is trying to connect (i.e. when the 'expert' end accepts the invite), and it's showing as pointing/directing to my static DHCP lan IP (191.168.1.2).
I've included a copy of one of the invite files (which is disabled at the PC end and has my real WAN IP xxx out) in case it provides a clue. I'm pulling my hair out with this - any ideas guys?
Just in case it's any use, I used to use Remote Assistance with the old DG834GT but that didn't work today either (so I'm guessing it's not just an AM200/WRT thing).
Cheers,
Lee
