Re: Serious problem with Comcast and Linksys
Just a shot in the dark...... check the grounding on all computers connected to the router. I don't know if there is a grounding conductor in the ethernet cable and if not, there could be sufficient ground potential difference between two machines to exceed the common mode input voltage of the chipset at either end. Mild cases might cause data disturbances and serious cases could blow the chips.
Any lightning storms in the area around the time the system started acting up? I had a close strike take out two ports of my router and a NIC. No other damage to anything else in the house.
