Connection stalls until I do ping/traceroute in router




Hi, so this just happened a couple mins ago and is an example of what
happens fairly frequently to me...

- browsing web using FireFox (Windows XP, latest SP)
- suddenly online music stops playing and current (& future) web page
loads no longer work (ie. wireless connection seems broken/dropped)
- I use FF to access my Linksys router home page (which works fine)
- go to Administration->Diagnostics, click on Traceroute button
- window takes several long seconds to come up but as soon as it does,
music starts again and web page loading works fine again

Other things *sometimes* work (like ipconfig /release & /renew) but
clicking Traceroute or Ping on the router page almost always fixes the
issue.

Is this definitely a router issue or could some other component be
contributing (Windows, wireless adapter, ISP)? If router, how to fix/
minimize? (settings? firmware?) Thanks!

ps. I've written about this previously a while ago here:
