Does your internet disconnect when your computer is just plugged in directly to the cable modem? If so, then it looks like your cable modem has a fault.

Wouldn't think so, but you can try switching them off and see how it goes...

Why do you have 2 firewalls running on both computers, it's better to just have 1 firewall on each computer. That way they won't conflict with each other.

So, you've done steps 1 to 7? So, open the tftp.exe file you downloaded and type in 192.168.1.1. I think you can leave the password field blank. Find the dd-wrt.v23_micro_generic.bin and click update.

Let me know how you get on.

Cool, good to hear it worked. What do you think of the DD-WRT firmware?
