Continuing problems with router

I've been having problems with intermittent failure to communicate with my
3Com router/modem. Things generally work ok to start with but I eventually
have problems accessing the internet. I can get emails and newsgroups ok. I
have two computers wired in and either one can lock out. I notice that the
LAN status lights do not flash when trying to access the internet like they
normaly do (although they do when I access email/newsgroups). If I reset the
computer everything comes ok again. I've a 3Com 3CRWDR100A which is only
used in wired mode (wireless disabled). Someone had earlier queried the PSU
but the problem rectifies itself with a PC reset so I'm wondering if it's
something in the PC to router setup. I'm fairly new to all this (had the
router for a few weeks) so don't know where to start. Will any of the logs
within the router tell me anything?

Hi,
got one myself for my laptop, have you downloaded the firmware updates from
the 3com site http://www.3com.co.uk/

Yes I checked the software version. Mine is 2.06 Sept 21 2005. I believe it
is the latest version although the release date on their web site says
October!?
