Thanks for all your help guys. I believe that my problem lies not in my computer nor router, but w/ Verizon itself right now. I live in Massachusetts, and as i have heard, Verizon has been doing pretty crappy up in the New England area. I plan on calling in and probably upgrading to the 3MB package, which should help me. I hope...lol
