Hi, Occasionally I will get this problem where I will not be able to surf webpages (even though my downloads are still moving). I tried to ping webpages like google.com and yahoo but there will be time outs and no replies when the problem occurs (downloads are still moving) I will then have to reset my router or restart my computer till then I will be able to surf the net. I have another computer in the network (total 2 nodes), and both have the same problem when it occurs (unable to surf webpages even though internet connection is still on). I’ve called my ISP and they told me my Internet connection is working fine and I strongly believe the problem lies on the router. I would like some advice on how to solve this problem as it has brought me lots of inconvenience.My router is linksys wrt54g. I've tried asking them for help and they told me to change the MTU value but the problem is still not solved even i changed them.I also suspect this problem is cause by bit torrent?the client i am using is bit comet 0.56. Thank you Alvin Lim

"I also suspect this problem is cause by bit torrent?the client i am using is bit comet 0.56." Jeez..YA THINK??? Jimi_l

so is there any way to solve it?

disable the p2p program. Check the settings for it to lower the bandwith it uses. ASUS P5GD1 P4 3.4 Socket775 ABIT RX600-SE V-Guru 1G Corsair PC400

Did you recently upgrade the firmware? (I did and my Linksys router stopped working.) Who is your internet provider? (I went to my ISP website, and they listed settings for my particular router, worked fine ever since.) I don't see how bit torrent would hurt the router. Could it be a problem with your browser?

i did not upgrade the firmware which i fear it might damage the router.happen once to my dlink router. my internet service provider is starhub maxonline(singapore). i did suspect its my browser but where does the problem lies?when i restart my com or router it works perfectly again but the problem will just pop up suddenly..

i think i know where the problem lies.. i guess its the overflow of peers connecting to me when using bit torrent causing the router to be to busy.. anyone knows wats the maximum number of connection(people that connects to u in bit torrent so called seeders/peers) linksys wrt54g is capable of handling?
