Hey Group,

The Guard Dog has undoubtedly saved my system many time according to the log 
file of failed hits on me.   Here's something new that keeps crashing the 
router.  My daughter came home from college with a Dell laptop with built-in 
wireless adaptor.  I picked up a Linksys BEFWA11S4 wireless and attached it 
according to instructions to the Linksys cable modem.  Everfything works fine 
except when she starts her laptop.  I set it to automatically connect to our 
home network which is wep and restricted to her mac address.  She connects 
and gains the internet and then all other computers on the home network lose 
their connectivitiy.  I power down the Linksys router, do an refresh dhcp and 
everything works fine.  She can power down .. but next power up, same thing 
happens.  Any ideas?
