Richard, I've read the other responses to this and agree (firmware, channel, etc.), but my experience would lead me to suggest hardware. These routers (and access points) are mass-produced and are just flakey sometimes. I'd try the other suggestions and if you're still having the same problem, take advantage of Linksys's excellent cross-RMA (where they send you the replacement while you return yours). You get stuck for the cost of shipping yours, but it's still a good deal.
I had a netgear that did the same thing (with apple/linux laptops not XP though). I'd turn WEP off and it would work fine. I replaced it with the exact same product and the second one worked fine with WEP. Dave M.
