WRT-54G and Other WiFi Routers Install Possible Solution!

Question

The live chat turned out to be VERY helpful.
One thing I discovered was that trying to install on Win Vista wasn't working BECAUSE IE7.0 was crashing the firmware upgrade. While I thought that I had done that yesterday, it turned out that it hadn't. Instead, I tried to enter the firmware page (192.168.1.1) using Mozilla Firefox and found that it hadn't installed correctly. I couldn't even reach the page with IE7 but instead kept getting the "Page Not Found" error, even using WinXP as the operating system.
I'm NOT sure the WRT-54G will work when I try to install it tomorrow at a clients home, but I've gotten a lot further along using the Mozilla browser than the IE7 browser.
If you keep spinning your wheels and can't get the bloddy thing to work, I would suggest installing Mozilla first, setting it as your default browser (you may want to keep it that way), THEN trying to install firmware updates and reinstall the router.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes
Arne

Interrupted connections under some circumstances
after applying the AirPort Extreme 2007-001 update:
This is (often) soluble by disabling any third-party
wireless signal monitoring or sniffing utilities.
I don't think Little Snitch was causing any problems, for me at least. It did let me see that it was trying to talk to the other machine's non-active IP address, which is what led me to turning off the other network ports.
It's quite informative to see which TCP and UDP ports are being actively used, and where they're going.
