Netgear Firewall problems

[peyton94]

I have a FP114 netgear router with firewall. It seems I can't get to some of my normal websites. And I didn't mean the porn ones guys. For some reason on certain sites the firewall will block my access to a website. There isn't anything in the address that seems odd. Any suggestions on getting around this without having to buy a different router.

Some sites may be trying to talk to you via certain ports. If your ports are locked down tight, then I could see that causing problems.

You might also check to see if you have a "blacklist" of sites in a table somewhere in your router.

I'm not familiar with this specific router, but these are some areas I would look towards.

Enable logging and look at the log output. If it's blocking stuff, you can see it right there in the logs.
