Does anyone have any experience with Linksys
Routers that make a "buzzing" sound when ON?
A new one I had, at first plug in, made a very loud "buzzing" all the time, so I returned it for another new one and it at first was quiet, then 2 weeks later it started making a soft "buzzing" sound all the time.
Just seems like something is wrong, even after trying in on different outlets, with and without a surge protector and with and without APC BackUp power supply.
Any Ideas?

yep, same thing here on my befsr41. I just
tucked it behind some other equipment, can't
here a thing now. As to the cause... I have
no idea.

Yes I purchased a linksys BEFW11S4 ver 2 router the other day and hooked it up to
my main computer. I then also hooked up a wireless pci card on my other
computer. Now on the main comp i can hook up to won servers and play online, yet
on the other one it can not locate any servers whatsoever, so I can not play at
all. The reason for purchasing this was of course for fast speed on second comp,
but also so my son and I can get online at the same time with awesome speeds.
Now this isnt working at all. Internet works great on wireless side as well as
main, but still no hl working. I have configured in the forwording ports in
setup for router to allow servers to pass firewall. These ports i entered are
27000-27050,7002-7002,6003-6003,5050-5050. Still it does not connect. Also
disabled DMZ and still doesnt connect. The main comp I have stated for it to
assign dhcp automatically, while other has a static ip. I have changed this
around also to see if that would work and still nothing. Current config is main
computer is ip assigned, second comp is static ip. Am at a huge loss here to
understand why this is happening. Linksys tech support knows nothing on to why
this is the case. As i said, the network runs awesome, no probs connecting to
internet on either comp. Yet hl does not dind servers therefore does not work on
second computer. If you can help me in anyway i would appreciate it
tremendously. And just for verification, what computer gets the static ip
Thank you for your time,
Dan
