Thank you for taking your time with me!

I tried all three routers out of the box. Didn't work. I updated the firmware on all three. Didn't work.

When I disable ICS and connect through the router, the computer says connected. I browse to 192.168.1.1 to the routers setup page. Under the status tab it says connected. It displays the IP given from my ISP, and the IP of the router.

Everything looks good on the screen, but when I try to go 'outside' (the internet) I cannot browse. Many packets being sent, VERY few recieved. (like 400 sent, 12 recieved). I am able to ping 'www.google.com' and 'www.yahoo.com' and some others that I've tried, but sometimes I get packet loss. (about half the pings I do have some sort of packet loss). SBC (my telephone/DSL provider) ran a test on my lines. Linksys could only talk me through the obvious. (is your username and password correct? Have you tried changing the MTU? etc..)

I only have ICS enabled now so my wife can use her computer too. My previous Linksys router was working great (wired and wireless) until I bricked it. All firewalls and internet security are off. I am at such a loss right now, as I have exhausted all troubleshooting ideas. ...

Thank you again for your time!
