[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 856374, member: 14268"] Well, it's maybe a coincidence, but the modem/router that I saw the same problem with was also a linksys. Since I got rid of it and bought a netgear one, I have not had any problems. My gut feeling, and it is only a gut feeling, is that the built-in firewall on the linksys router was a bit flaky. I have no hard evidence to support this but.... 1. Have netgear modem/router (100 Mbps) - a little slow, but no problems at all. 2. Buy gigabit linksys router - intermittent problems start with MP, even though everything else seems fine. 3. Buy netgear gigabit router - problems disappear. So, how can you be so certain that there is no problem with your router? Maybe there is a MP bug that only manifests itself with a linksys router, or maybe there is a problem with the router. I am not saying that this is the cause. Just that it's a real coincidence that we have both seen the same problem with the same router brand. I would not be so quick to dismiss it. Mark [/QUOTE]
