Re: Router restarts when second pc is booted
Is the Downstairs PC near to the router?
Is the PC on a surge suppressor or not?

Does it happen when the pc is disconnected from the router?

Is the third PC running vista?


I have a couple ideas.

1. If the pc is running vista it could be trying to talk IPv6 to the router and crashing it check the router is running the latest firmware and try disabling IPv6 support in vista. (i've seen posts on other forums suggesting vistas Ipv6 upsets some routers)

2. Could be the pc kicking out some electrical noise as it powers up, ADSL can be sensitive to noise bursts its possible the psu or something in the PC might chuck out something for a moment that disrupts the DSL. (RF noise?)
