Mouse and keyboard problems after restore

writingwoman

I have a strange problem - I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but it has never happened to me and I am very good with computers. I thought for sure I could have solved this one myself, but it just does not make sense.

LinkSys Router: Internet Access Issue

Myke

I have a remote site that uses a LinkSys Wirelss-G (model WRT54GS) router. The 2 machines out there are hard wired to the router, so wireless security shouldn't be the problem. The router is connected to the an ISP's modem, which is then connected to the Internet.
