One more follow-up to my last post. You might try Google for this: "linksys BEFSX41 will not tracert" (no quotes) which turns up, what appears to be, a gold mine of information regarding the router woes.

Good luck.

Subject: Firewall/Router suggestions


I'm fed up with Linksys. I have a BEFSX41 router/firewall that I have used for about 9 months now. During this time, it has given me nothing but fits. I can't traceroute through it because the router will reboot if you try to do it. It just stops passing traffic at random intervals and has to be rebooted.

I tried getting a replacement from Linksys Tech Support, but the one they sent me didn't even pass the initial power on test. It just kept locking up.

Is Netgear a good brand? I want a very good firewall/router unit that I can rely on without having to do much work on it. I've been looking at the Netgear business products, and they seem pretty good.

Thanks,
Brian Rudnicke
