disonnection problems with WRT54G Linksys router

I am experiencing a similar problem with Linksys WRT54G Wireless G as have
been reported with BEF11S4-V4. Works
for a few hours then wam.. starts by saying MSN messenger can't connect as
must be behind firewall, then IE can't find anything and no mail. Added
challenge as don't have local access to router as helping parents who are a
ways away. Set it up for them and it worked two days while there. Now it
seems to have stopped... Started researching and see that these symptoms are
common on the BEF11S4-V4, anyone experiencing issues with the WRT54G?

Thx

It's unclear to me whether or not you have a client PC that can be plugged
into
one of the hard-wired ports. But, I highly recommend that you have both a
PC hard-wireable as well as one using wireless connection.

That way, you can see whether the hard-wired PC is also losing its Internet
connectivity
too, and thus rule out that it has much of anything to do with the
'wireless-side' of things
(which is more complex to have to debug/think-about).
(And, if so, then your symptom DOES sound more like the problems I have been
seeing
with the BEFW11S4 model.)

Hope this helps...

The problem initially shows on the wireless laptop, but the desktop plugged
directly into the router eventually experiences the same issues.
