    I have always had this problem with youtube, while watching a video the internet disconnects/loses signal, searches and retrieves the signal again. The video then USUALLY has to start over sometimes the load marker will or wont work. SOMETIMES the internet will cease completely then i unplug the linksys power, wait a minute plug it back in and voila. Does anyong know how i can stop dissconnects while watching stuff @ youtube?
    Linksys router wrt54g
    Comcast cable
    Intel nic
    Another Linksys box For vonage.

    I have the same setup as you, and never had this problem with youtube, google video etc. Update the routers firmware to the latest from Linksys website or a 3rd party one.
    Are you having this problem only with youtube though? Are you using any P2P programs while watching youtube?
