OK, I will assume that your router is then doing network address translation, you use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which means that no icmp (ping) traffic should be generated by lisa to any machine outside your network. Thus, the only traffic that lisa could be causing is arp traffic for 255 nodes (which shouldn't fill the arp cache on any device designed specifically for this situation, and should not cause any weird behaviour), and portscans to machines which replied to the ping (which should also not cause a problem). > > They all plug into a 6-port hub which uplinks to the router which then > plugs directly into my cable modem. > > If you need any more information, let me know.

If it really is lisa causing this, then we would have to disable lisa, since there is no way to prevent this if it is indeed the problem. However, the blaster worm would cause almost identical (except much higher traffic) traffic, and I have't seen any reports of linksys routers being rebooted by blaster.
