Hi. I have a recurrent problem with my DIR-655 (had similar problem with DIR-615) where new outbound connections aren't going through. The setup is a DIR-655 with a WAN fixed IP behind a Linksys WRT54G connected to the Internet with ADSL (sympatico.ca) The DIR-655 is configured as the DMZ on the WRT54G. DIR-655 has 192.168.2.80 as a DMZ. The WRT54G is connected to the Internet but the DIR-655 won't allow outbound traffic. Can't connect to the admin interface either. The DIR-655 is returning a TCP RST:

Connections can go through after a power cycle on the router. I guess the DIR-655 connection table is full. Could it be because of the DMZ or is it a known problem ?
