Andrew, Some things to consider:
1) Is the firmware for the WRT55AG up to date? I had any number of problems getting a T43p, Apple iMac, and ethernet connected canon printer to work together at home until Linksys, Apple, and IBM all fixed various firmware/software/driver problems. Very frustrating for a long time for items that were all supposed to meet standards that ensured operation together. Access connections was troublesome for a long time as was faulty Linksys firmware. Apple had issues in the firmware of the wifi card. Same for software drivers for the IBM (Intel) and Apple wifi cards. 2) Are the ethernet and wifi drivers and the Access Connections at the latest version for your computer? (see above) 2) Can you set your Linksys to always give issue a particular IP to a particular MAC address? That way your computers would get a consistent IP address at home but still use DHCP to get an address at home or any other location.
