As for my knowledge, I may be wrong but does it affect if the ISP has a
windoze setup or a Unix one if what you get when you login is the router
login prompt....
and to my knowledge, the connection and other stuff is done to the router
after it authenticates you from the server which may be Unix or Windoze.
So, shoud'nt this be a router issue rather than a windoze or a Unix issue
unless the ISP is directly giving you the server login prompt??
