My Linksys would basically hang and cause me to reboot it. Sometimes weeks would go by and I would be fine. Sometimes the probably would manifest within hours. My brother-in-law had a DSL modem/router that would get into a bad state when probed by Code Red and so while that flash-worm was prolific his connection was very unstable. I began to wonder if there was some sort of packet stream or probe that would randomly target me and cause a similar problem. In any case I was cursing my WRT54G and taking Cisco's name in vain. Finally one day I made the leap to DD-WRT and NEVER had a stability problem again. Same hardware, different software, much better result. Besides, I thought the whole point of buying a *GL series Linksys was that you weren't going to use the software it ships with. :) -Rob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
