Some connection bugs were resolved. I have had this sort of problems in the past, but not (necessarily) on Windows machines. The best approach is to power down everything: computers router cable/dsl modem Leave them powered down about 15 minutes, then power up in this order: modem router computers Don't know if you're using AT&T Broadband, but they had some DHCP server problems a few weeks ago which they have finally resolved. Could be some state left over in your router that reconnects to a bad lease. Also, check the status of the lease in your Linksys status page. My modem was granted a lease of 49,000+ days, which caused some problems later. The above cleared it up for me. ++ Ken Williams
