ok, i cant get it to router my cable. It started last night at a lan party i was hosting. For the first 3 hours it was cool, after that it stopped working ( we were playing CS on the lan so no one really cared). If i connect the cable to my computer it works fine but through my router nada.

thx


( i have tried restarting it and unplugging it also )

I've had the same problem. Just reset the router and reconfigure it and see if that works.

I have the problem too.

Linksys BEFSR11 cable/dsl router cannot handle high speed. It just jam when I downloaded 3-4 files at the same time at 500KB/s each.

Another thing can jam the Linksys router is when you access your own domain name. Say you have a domain name that is direct to your web server...it'll jam big time because it doesn't support loopback function.

The only way I could solve the domain name problem was to find the file name 'hosts' in c:\ and add this:

Example:

192.168.1.5<TAB>www.neoverse.net
192.168.1.5<TAB>24.93.69.xx

192.168.1.5 is where the server is.


This will give you loopback function without crashing the router.

I don't have any problems with "loopback" and the Linksys... running my own webserver and FTP server... other machines on the LAN have no problems seeing it either.
