I think i have ur fix log into router 192.168.1.1 click on advanced have ur mtu enabled and block wan request disabled also if there is a spi feature disable that too some versions of firmware still has it.

It sounds like when you are downloading the ping is being sent out but not sent back with the ping being gone the other computer doesn't know if your computer is still there.

i sure wish that would have been it.
i have it set to wan disabled (it was set to enabled) and still have that same problem. maybe a new one now too i noticed like when i type in here just after i changed that setting that my text appears delayed when i type. hope it goes away. also i didnt see the spi thing but i know what your talking about ive seen it b4 in prev firmwares for this router. now i do have ipsec and wait ill just copy paste it

Block WAN Request: Disable
Multicast Pass Through: Enable
IPSec Pass Through: Enable
PPTP Pass Through: Enable
Remote Management: Disable Port: 8080
Remote Upgrade: Disable
MTU: Enable Size: 1492


note: i disconnected my router all togather and still had this same problem.

What type of dsl modem you have also is ur linksys firmware up to date.

[tdbone1]

my linksys firmware is upto date but i did just upgrade my westell dsl modem
i didnt know i could go into my modem settings like a routers settings messing around now. after i did upgrade the firmware in the modem i noticed i couldnt get back on the net so i hooked up the router again and could get on that way. dloading some software for the modem called connection manager will see if that helps

Downloads use the IE cache, and if there isn't enough room, the file can't be downed in full.

Try setting IE cache to 300MB instead of 50.

Last night I forgot the link doh this may or may not help http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323 that shows you the setup with a linksys.

[tdbone1]

you guys are great. ive used the tcp analyzer and tcp optimizer they are my friends :)
it definately acts like IE cache is set to low. but its set to 457 if where im looking at is correct. tools>internet options>settings
