[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5427270, member: 59506"] Thanks for the help and info Janx. And this is what I think too. I've got DSL (Uverse isn't available in my area) at the highest speed available in my area (which I think is 6Mbs, but I'd have to look it up). Usually, when I've run speed tests I'll get around 4 or 5. But I just ran it now and got 6.09Mbs, so that's running pretty good. We never have a problem with the downloads though, it's just any other computer when we are downloading. I haven't actually looked to see if the other computers are losing their ip or not, but I don't think they are as all I have to do is exit IE and then just start it back up again (sometimes it has to be done multiple times, but it's still the same thing). I've also noticed though that if IE isn't shut down, but my connection comes back, the gateway still won't let me access the page I was trying to reach when I recieved the error. It will tell me "Success - you must restart your browser to view the page", or something to that effect. If it is just the router causing the problem, is there anything I can do in the gateway set up to change that. It's set for maximum speed right now (56mbs). Does that mean that it will allow one computer if it's downloading to use up all the bandwidth? Should I set that to a lower amount to limit any one computer from using too much? Or is it just a crappy router (it's the 2wire wireless gateway provided by AT&T), and there's really nothing to be done about it (except get a better one)...? Thanks again for the help.:) [/QUOTE]
