I updated firmware on my linksys BEFSW11 router yesterday and I cannot receive

the phone with less that competent tech support people at #1 ntplx.net (email
provider) #2 bellsouth.net (ISP) and linksys.com
All blame the other guy. Linksys is telling me I need to set up port
triggering for email and web surfing.
The problem is that my bellsouth email account is un affected as are every
other website I try to access. I have, for now, disconnected the linksys and
am connected through a hub directly to the DSL modem/router. The problem is
gone. I would really like to be able to use the router. I've gotten rather
used to it in the 4 years I've had it working. Any ideas?
You could check the default MTU setting on the router. I use a dlink and
had to lower mine. The default setting was 1500 and I lowered it to 1480.
