If all else fails Shawn, hit the linksys site and see if there is an 
updated firmware for that router.  If the existing one is also 
available, grab it too so you have a fallback if the newer version 
doesn't work kosher either.  These can usually be installed live by 
using mozilla to access the router itself at its address.  They have 
a built in webserver.
