No, I haven't. Have you got the latest firmware for the router? I noticed
that there was a fix for packets arriving out of order in one of the earlier
upgrades although I don't know if that would cause your problem. Have you
talked to your ISP about this - lots of stuff between your hard-disk and the
file source?

Hmmm, that's good to know. Is an older version more stable, and is it
available from the Linksys web site?
