DLink 524 router locked up...solved?

My DLink 524 router started locking up randomly. All 5 wired and power LEDs on. Happened from 2 min to 8 hrs or so. But I found that constantly pinging the router keeps it up. Why?

A little more info; The 1 computer connecting wirelessly kept losing connection when streaming mms: with mplayer (after 1-2 min). But not when I used vnc to watch it. Pinging the router from it kept it going. When not streaming, the router did its lockup tricks. So I started pinging it always from the wired connection.

Oh, and no bttorrent running either 8-)

Hello,

It seems that D-Link routers are pretty unstable, particularly when the e-mail log server is activated. Mine locked up after every logfile sent. Friends had the same problem with their D-Link router and it runs now 24/7 since the log e-mail is deactivated.

My firmware is the latest and I don't have any log emails.

I'm just wondering why pinging it would help. I've ordered a LinkSys.

adios
