If you have a linksys router, you might want to download an earlier 
version of firmware, or alternatively use whatever box works as a router 
with a 2nd NIC and an appropriate firewall setup.  I have more problems 
when my modem unexpectedly gets bumped and resets than with a netgear 
router, I had lots of fun with 2 different linksys routers, so much that 
I went to using an old 486 as a gateway with a switch connected to the 
2nd NIC and other computers.  That worked quite well until the fan 
cooling the CPU stopped working one day.
