Thanks for the heads up. I haven't used the web GUI, so I double checked and made sure it was off.

Gave up on DD-WRT after a few months usage. A lot of people I knew who used that firmware experienced Internet slowdowns to the point they'd have to reset/reboot the router. Flashed back to default firmware and then updated to Tomato. It works extremely well and is updated often.

I was getting that fairly frequently, especially after using torrents. I was using a router which could only handle the micro build. (lots of different problems, actually. I definitely dont recommend ever using a router which requires the micro instead of the standard.)
After I got my new router about 6 months ago, I made sure it had more memory to handle the full version. I havnt noticed the problem that i had on my old wrt54g....now it by far outperforms the original linksys firmware (which isnt all that great, but mostly stable)

I made sure to get the WRT54GL, so I had plenty of memory.
