D-Link and iTunes problem

After an evening of trying to work out why my D-Link wireless router
had stopped connecting to AOL the helpful chaps at D-Link asked whether
I had just upgraded iTunes.

I had upgraded iTunes a day or so previously and miraculously after
uninstalling iTunes and reseting the router it worked fine. Apparently
they've been quite busy on the D-Link techical line as a result of the
latest iTunes becoming available!

The chap at D-Link talked me through some changes to my router settings
and advised that I could now download iTunes again without it causing a
problem.

As you will have noted, I am not profficient with the technical aspects
of wireless routers but thought I would post my experience here in case
it helped anyone out.

Yep, I found that interesting. Do you by luck happen to know / be able
to summarize what the "changes" in your router help with the recent itunes ?

The main change seemed to be in the network set-up screens where the
DNS IP address was changed from automatically assigned to specific
ones, which were something like:
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3

I'm sure the router log had suggested some sort of DNS problem, not
that I have the first clue what DNS actually is or does!

Yeah, apparently iTunes 5 is a real disaster. Anyone know where I can
find 4.9 on the net?

Same thing with me when I set up a system on a friends PCs. Must say that
D-Link support was the best I have ever come across. Very efficient and spot
on!

Netgear however is completely another matter!!! Useless bunch!
