Router disabled in "Network"
Hi, I seem to have an odd problem with my router and Windows 7 64. I've recently gotten this new Thomson TG782 router which supports uPnP. It is enabled in the router and it is visible in the "Network" under "Network Infrastructure" listed as Thomson TG782 (1005NT2HL).
When I just installed these Windows this -connection- was actually enabled, because right clicking it gave a "Disable" option. I've since installed network drivers (Realtek RTL8111C) and the Realtek network diagnostic utility, and Outpost Pro Firewall 64.
Now, the connection is disabled, and trying to enable it gives a "Connection Failed!" message.
I'm not sure which of these things killed it, but I do believe uPnP is not working properly now (how can I test this?).
I have a parallel Windows XP installation with the same firewall, updated drivers (albeit for XP), and it works fine there (though the implementation is a bit different I assume).
How would I go about fixing this? I've tried turning the firewall off but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm sure there is some setting or so blocking it.
