Hi Adrian. Pidgin should not be able to cause your wireless router to crash--this would be a bug in your wireless router, and I suggest you report the problem to NetGear (you would probably want to make sure they haven't fixed in already in a firmware update). You could try turning off UPnP in the router and see if that causes it not to crash. That being said, we're open to making to changes to Pidgin to avoid causing your wireless router to crash as long as those changes make sense, adhere to any relevant specs, don't break UPnP, etc. But I'm not sure this is something we'll be able to fix without physical access to the listed router. -Mark _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
