Have you checked for firmware updates for your SMC 4-port
router/switchbox? I fixed some problems with my D-link router by
downloading and flashing my router firmware to a later version.
By the way, the symptoms of not logging on the network every time was the
same symptoms I had with the "almost connected" bad cable. Apparently the
wires were close enough to get a weak signal across the small gap sometimes
and then not work other times. With my network I was so sure that the
problem was with my router that I bought another, a LinkSys, and it had the
same problems as the D-link (not logging in and intermittently working). I
finally pulled a long single piece cable from the router to my PC and
plugged it in and it worked flawlessly. I never found where my original
cable had the bad connection, I just pulled and terminated a new one.
