Hello heres the facts i have a Belkin Wireless G Router
2 computers, 1 laptop, and an xbox 360 connection
2 computers run on windows professional while 1 runs on xp
the one computer that is wireless used to have this same problem before all my computers encountered this connection issue
the wired connections used to work while the wireless experienced the unstable connection
Any help would be appreciated

If all the computers are having a disconnect issue, it's the router, the modem, or your ISP. I'd connect direct to the modem to see if it's the router. If it still happens with the one machine connected to the modem, you've eliminated the router as the source of the issue.

looks like it may not be the router after all. My computers always had a ip conflict with my old netgear router also.

What's the make/model of the modem?
