Thanks, still getting disconnected though.... I am getting some new warnings:

08-16-2006 19:51:23 User.Warning 192.168.1.1 kernel: DROP IN=vlan1 OUT= MAC=**** SRC=64.12.25.24 DST=72.135.230.*** LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=109 ID=17805 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=5190 DPT=2929 SEQ=1727787834 ACK=4249293396 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0

Perhaps what you told me to do fixed the first problems (cause I am definately getting fewer overall warnings than I did before).

Can I assume the solution would be the same, but instead of 67 and 68, with ports 5190 and 2929?

Anyone know what function the firewall is blocking here?

I'm having some similar problems, what isp are you using btw? I'm using comcast in MA. I also recieved the drops on ports 67/68, the iptables fix didn't stop the issue with me. I upgraded to the latest DD-WRT v23 SP2 (08/17/06) mini. I even went as far as trying to get a new router Buffalo WHR-G54S because I thought my old linksys was starting to die. Unfortuanantly I'm having the same problem still.

I don't want to speak to soon but i think disabling STP fixed it for me maybe. I'm going to leave it overnight to see if I get any problems...

even after using:
iptables -I INPUT -p UDP -i vlan1 --dport 68 --sport 67 -j ACCEPT
and verifing that the entry was put into iptables according to kiwi I am still getting drops on those packets. Which seems strange...

This is what I get from kiwi:

My ISP is Road Runner, but as I've stated, I don't believe the ISP is an issue at all, because I hooked the cable modem up to my PC directly, and then connected the PC that had the cable modem up to the WAN port of the router, and shared the connection.

When the connection dropped on machines hooked up to the LAN port of the router, it was still very happy on the machine hooked directly to the cable modem.

This seems to be a big issue, I've seen many threads popping up about this... and I might need to find a way to flash back to the original buffalo firmware, cause it's beyond tollerable.

I've seen the internet route stop passing traffic on a linksys, but a full reset/reflash/reset/reconfig fixed it.

Tried that. No go. I am tempted to disable the firewall and see if the connection drops. But I dont want to diable the firewall entirely.

Jonathan, I set up the same router for a friend. He is experiencing the same problems. We can ping out of the router but not surf (port 80). I have been using his router at my address (same cable company) for a week now, no problems. I have not had a chance to take it back to his house and troubleshoot as of yet. He is using a eMachine that has an Nvidia 6100 series chipset. The onboard ethernet may be his problem, by chance are you running a Nvidia ethernet chip (drivers). The first thing I will do when I do go back is update to the newest drivers and if that does not work, I will further test with a old ethernet card.

Good luck!

It's not the computers, its not the ISP.

The connection drops for every device on the network (from my PDA, to my laptop, to my wired PCs, to my slingbox) at the same time, and on all ports, not just 80.

So I don't think you are having the "same" problem that I am.
