Just for the record - I have the same issue with my Linksys wrt54g router. BitTorrent crashes it. I rarely uses BT - only to grab Linux iso's - it works perfectly otherwise. Supposedly the BT issue on the Linksys router can be solved by installing a third party firmware that gives you access to a shell and then using that shell to allow more connections. However - I've heard reports that it only is an issue on PPPoE and is a buggy PPPoE driver. I'm switching to cable modem soon anyway, so I will see if that fixes it - and if not, I'll just RMA it as some people with a Linksys don't seem to have the issue, and I'd rather have one that doesn't have the issue with stock firmware, then have to do weird stuff. My router is a v2.2 router - I don't know if it exists on the v3.0 routers. -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
