AIM using a Dlink DI-704 router [dlink] [firewall]
Q: I want to send files via AIM. How do I get past the firewall on the router? I know the port number used by AIM (default 5190). Thats about all I know, however. (
Anyone have this router? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Answer: Call 800-288-2020 and get tech support — have them check your speed connection to see if you are getting the speed that you are paying for.
Sounds like you need to find out if a speed upgrade is available in your area. For $5 or $10 , you may have a way better speed which is better for gaming.
Re:Only difference is the print sharing, otherwise identical…
you question as to wether or not you need print sharing . . . . well, it is nice to not have to send the file…. but it is also more $$$ so if you don't mind the little x-tra $ for that then I would go with it…

I am looking to purchase a router, any preference for the DL-704 as compared to the DL-704P …………. ?
Do I need the printer sharing function ………….. if several pc's are networked, can't I just send the file to the pc that's hooked to the printer and print from there ……… are there other advantages to the DL-704P?
Are these routers equal otherwise, or am I giving up features to gain the printer sharing?
Thank's for the info……………. >>

Re:it isn't because of my firewall, it is because we're both behind firewalls, I can file transfer w/ other people….
and there is a firewall in the DI-704, read the man if you don't believe…
any help?

Re:I have the DI-704. I don't think it has a built-in firewall. I have used the file transfer app from AIM many times with the Router installed.
Re:BUMP,
I have this as well, how do I transfer files???
