    My youtube won't stream now. I notice that everything else works fine, and once I reboot my modem youtube works for a bit then does not again. I have no idea what this is. It does it in all my browsers..I am wondering if my Linksys Router is dying.

    Has anyone experienced youtube streaming problems like this?

    Possibly. Set all your settings back to default (hold reset button on back for 30sec.)

    Make sure you have the latest Firmware for the router. And latest drivers for your Wireless/Ethernet Card. ;)

    you know this is a good point. I just updated the drivers for my wireless card through Vista. I wonder if that is the problem. I will now go check my firmware.

    I have the linksys WRT45g2. The firmware is 1.0. I went to linksys and looked and do not see an upgrade. My adapter is the realtek adapter. I upgraded the driver through Vista last week.

    Youtube still will not stream! Not sure what the heck to do..everything else seems to work fine.

    Does it stop constantly at 0:02?

    If so, it's a FF issue for me at least.

    What is weird is I tried other browsers also.
