Not Responding

Right now, both machines Send/Recv okay. The failure isn't
likely to happen until the next boot. So, the next time I get a
failure on either of the machine, I'll bypass the router after
I blow away OE-Not Responding and then restart OE to
see if the problem goes away.
The Linksys WRT54G has the latest firmware installed and
I don't have any problems with OE News or Firefox while
OE is in a state where a click on Send/Recv would freeze
OE. That is,
Send/Recv is automatic with a start of OE and
I can tell at that point that the initial Send/Recv has failed,
It may help to elaborate on those symptoms.
Also, to try to discover whether the problem is with Receives specifically
you could temporarily disable both automatic Send/Receive options
and instead always do a manual Send and a manual Receive separately.
You could also activate troubleshooting logging for the server(s) that you
suspect (e.g. via the Maintenance tab options.)
but OE doesn't actually freeze until I manually click on Send/Recv
at that point.
Trying to queue up another request for one which is already slow (or hung)
is seldom a good idea and really only exacerbates the problem.
Before doing that check to see in Task Manager Processes tab
(or using Process Explorer) if msimn.exe is doing *anything*.
You may have to activate more statistics columns to see if there
really is something happening. E.g. if your "hang" is in an I/O loop
you won't see much difference in the standard CPU% statistic but
perhaps intermittent changes in some of the I/O statistics.
