weird thomson router problem – hangs when IM application is launched

Posted on

Problem :

I recently got a thomson router from my ISP. Whenever google talk is launched the connection to the internet is lost and the router has to be restarted.

I tried google and found 1 more report with the same problem, but no solution.

UPnP is enabled but i cannot figure out what is the problem.

Any help/ideas?
