    I am running Win XP SP1. I am a beginner with Wireless Networking. I was wondering if someone might have a suggestion or any ideas what may be causing this problem.

    This is my system setup. 1. Linksys Wireless G Router (WRT54G).
    2. Dynamic IP Add. (PPOE Ethernet Card)
    3. Other Computer & Laptop WEP
    4. Norton AV on all three computer's.
    5. Main Computer running Router and
    ZoneAlarm.

    This is where my anomaly start's with the router. When I go into
    the router's status page and check the time and date sometime's
    it will be off by a few hour's.
    But when it is off by alot meaning the wrong day I can't log onto
    the internet. I will get the "Cannot connect to Server" error.
    This error will also appear on the other two computer's.
    To resolve this issue I go into the router's page and disconnect
    and reconnect until the page refreshes itself with the correct time and date than I am able to get on the internet.
    I contacted Linksys and they mentioned it might be firmware or a
    hardware problem. I received a replacement router and I also
    disabled ZoneAlarm. Same result's, this time only the time is off
    and the day show's correctly.
    Has anyone expierienced this sort of problem with a Linksys Rou-
    ter?

    Thank's

    If the router is new, get it replaced since something is defective.

    Otherwise, try the Linksys site and get any firmware update that is available for that particular one and see if that helps.

    And a quick post to Linksys tech support might be good.
