Any ideas on this problem ?

I replaced my old router last week for a Belkin N1 wireless one thinking it would be all singing and dancing but now I am getting constant

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Now after playing about I have managed to find that this only happens when we have more than one PC connected to the web at a time (I could understand if the connection speed was low but at 10 meg it should be fine?)This happens whether they are connected wirelessly or hard wired

Should I just take the thing back and try another or get rid off and buy another make?

IP conflict?

Does every machine connected have a dynamic or fixed IP address??

Does it always happen to the same machine?

Are teh machines fixed or dynamic IPs?

New router!
Check the mtu value set it to 1500 or 1492 to be safe, reboot router.

I had this on my Netgear router a few weeks ago. There was no IP address conflict that I could see, but I went ahead and gave a fixed IP address to each device on the network anyway and it's never played up again since.
