Default Linksys router Disconnecting wired connections

I have just moved my WAG54G wireless router to another room so that I can plug my new xbox 360 in to it, wireless works fine and is working fine (pages load fast etc) but if I plug my pcs or laptop directly in to the router with standard ethernet cable it connects and works slowly. After about 5 to 10 seconds it disconnects, then it reconnects and seems to do this over and over again.

Anything basic im doing wrong?

I have searched but people only seem to have problems with the wireless part

Update the firmware - instructions and download will be on the Linksys website.

Also ensure that the network cards in all your machines hve the latest drivers too.

Once everything is running on the latest versions start things up again and see if the fault is still there. If it is, power everything down and re-start the router then connect one device at a time, allow about 5 minutes between connecting each device. If the problem then re-occurs when a particular decide is connected it may be a problem with that rather than the router.

Fixed the problem last night by getting in a strop and throwing it out the window.

Off to buy a new one today

That'll do the trick!

If you're looking at new ones, I use Netgear stuff throughout my nework (router, file server, print server) and can recommend them pretty highly.
