Naah.. .I don't like calling people that much unless it's my fiance... heh
But, the problem was, I put a crossover cable between router and modem.
It worked -- but I believe there was some type of problem which was causing
it to freeze...
It's been a good while and it's still working perfectly -- actually better
for the wireless connection.
The reason I used a crossover is because it was the shortest one I had ...
I made a new straight through the last time the router froze ...
Disconnected both modem and router, connected modem to router, booted
router, booted modem ...
Works fine now =)
