First time poster here, be gentle!

Have been reading a few of the other threads so not sure if my problem is unique or not...

Am living in the equivalent of university accomodation with a cat5e cable internet. I have rigged up a D-link DAP-1160 to have a WAP in my room.

Wireless works perfectly on my computer (including google chat) and perfectly for my HTC Desire. Everything except Google Talk. I get the "could not connect to server, will rety shortly".

I have read on other forums about the TCP settings, would this be done by the main IT hub? I can't find anything on my DAP-1160 for TCP settings. If so, surely googlechat on my laptop would not work as well? Do i need to change a setting on my desire??

Many thanks
