Sometimes when using the web trigger with Internet explorer the WAN configuration (ip, gateway ip, dns servers) for the device was lost and a hardware reset was needed in order to make the device usable again. This issue can be triggered from the LAN interface by direct connection or by using specially crafted web content. For the web content to be able to trigger the issue a browser withouth security restrictions on connection to port 53 must be used, the tests done shows Internet Explorer like the only one cappable of activating the bug. Test made worked with Internet explorer version 7.0.6001.18000, it didnt worked with Opera version 9.63 build 10476, Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.1. nor Chrome 1.0.154.48. The html tags , an worked. Steps to reproduce: # direct connection # nc -nvv 192.168.1.1 53 Or force someone into the lan segment of the router to open an html file with one of the following tags and wait for the connection to be established and closed. After 5 upon 10 seconds the device will reboot. <+Tags which can get used+> click me
