Hugh,

Thanks for the tips, but I think that perhaps in my case the firmware update 
may be the culprit rather than the cure. The Linksys people walked me 
through the firmware update, and at best it did no good. I'm not sure the 
blame lies there, however. Is there any way I can "get back" my old 
firmware?
