Why do you have a router for home use? You NATing your home PC(s) or something? Seriously, WTF do you need a router for at home? Routers are a pain in the ass, why not go buy a cheap hub and just use that? ---

If he used a hub, he would need to lease another IP address for his PS3, or only use one at a time because a hub doesn’t have any IP addressing abilities. Just reset the router back to default, there is probably a setting in there that is blocking a certain port that eBay loads on the HTTP protocol. If all else fails call Linksys 1-800-326-7114 ---

Yeah, I just figured he was using the router to wire them in different rooms or something. I wasn’t figuring he was using both at the same time. ---
