I dont think my connectivity problem is my modem but rather my router. Sometimes when I first boot up, I may have a connection and then again, I may not. I tried resetting the router, unplugging it for about a minute, rebooting...nothing. I decided to go direct to the modem and bypass the router and got my connection back. Seems obvious the problem is within the router. However, I type in ipconfig /all in the command prompt and get the IP address with the router connected?. This morning I got a connection fine but, after about 30 minutes or so, lost it. Can I pretty much assume the problem is the router?

Router is a Linksys BEFSR41 v3 that's about 2 1/2 years old. Modem is Toshiba PCX 2200.
