I also have the WRT54GS -- just got it recently. I came with the
3.37.6 firmware (which does not show on the LInksys page).
Upgraded to the 4.50.6 from Linksys (as Jeff says -- do NOT use
a wireless connection to do the upgrade). I have no problem
pinging between my machines - several have SP2 on them. Make
sure you are not blocking it with something like ZoneAlarm (once
you find the problem, it is usually a "duh" moment -- I speak from
experience !)
