Yeah, and I can also report that adjusting the fragmentation threshold and RTS threshold did nothing to fix the problem for me... However it was a good suggestion.

Awesome, thanks for the update. If I ever get time to move my second machine closer to the WRT54G and connect directly to it rather than through the repeater I'll post here and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply. No, I didn't try hooking both up to the WRT54G because I need one of the machines to be wireless, but I have long suspected that it is an issue with the linksys equipment. It seems to only be able to handle the large data stream for so long without choking.

Both machines are ...

Not sure if you have already gotten an answer to this question, but one thing you want to make sure is that you are using an 80 wire IDE cable to connect to the motherboard, or you will not get maximum writing speed out of the drive.

I just upgraded my phone from 900 mhz (I know, the stone age) to a 2.4 ghz phone.

Now all of a sudden I'm dropping my wireless connection on my laptop and my network speed has even dropped. Seems like it has to be the phone operating on the same frequency as my router.

Does anyone know if it may ...
