I get a IM from my brother at home: "the internet doesn't work"
me: "then how are you online?"
him: "I mean firefox and IE don't work"

but he's on AIM? we've had this problem before and I'm not sure what causes it.
The router is a wrt54g with 3 desktops wired and 1 wireless laptop.

Previously it appeared that only 1 pc could be accessing the internet at one time. :confused: but most if not all of us could be on AIM.

When I get home I'm just going to reset the router, but how can i prevent this from happening again?

My 30 day warranty on the router from Best Buy is up too. :( Could it be torrent related as I know I have a couple of those being download right now (i hope) or IP related or what?
