CANNOT ENABLE FIREWALL IN DSL-502T
guys i need your help. there are two issues:

1) initially when i got the mtnl connection, the router's firewall was enabled by default(i think i'm pretty sure about that)
but a few days ago, i had disabled the firewall of the router from the
router's page(192.168.1.1 > home > WAN) to be able to access a few programs.
but now when i want to enable it again, it just wont happen.
this is what happens:
i goto the home tab. there i go and click on the WAN button.
earlier the firewall pop-down menu used to show "enabled".
but now, since it was disabled by me, i select "enable" from the
menu, and press the "apply" button at the bottom of the page.
a short pop-up message asks me to reboot the modem. i press OK.
the page starts to refresh automatically. but then nothing ever
happens.
the net stops working, and i cant access the web.
i'm thus forced to plug out the modem and the replug-in the power
supply.
the net works again.
but now when i again check the firewall status on the router, it
again says "disabled".

2) nextly, the port forwarding doesnt seem to be workking either.
wen i add new rules in the "user" defined rules, and press apply as and when required by it, the page refreshes, and never comes back... rebooting the router does not seem to have any effect, as i'm neither being able to add new rules nor modify previous rules.

i just cannot seem to get around these problems.
kindly help me resolve the issue.
