   Howdy!   
      
   When I turn the UPS on the DSL Modem and Linksys Router start up.   
   A few seconds later the 3 WAN LEDs go OFF for a moment and turn On again.   
      
   I wait a while before I turn the XP pc on to let the Router and DSL Modem   
   finish their "Handshaking Procedure".   
      
   I've always been an IDIOT Light watcher and I'm puzzled why the 3 LEDs on   
   the Router will again go OFF and back ON again about 3 minutes after the   
   power is applied to them.   
      
   I still wait a few minutes more before I turn on the XP pc, and during   
   that period I see the WAN LEDs doing a lot of binking.   
      
   The Port 1 LEDs will ocassionally blink but not in time with what the WAN   
   LEDs are doing.   
      
   As I am waiting. I also see the Activity LED on the DLS Modem ocassionally   
   blink, but I don't see any corresponding blinking on the Routers WAN LEDs   
   at the same time.   
      
   When the Routers WAN LEDs stop "Handshaking" and stay ON I turn on the XP   
   pc and start using the computer.   
      
   Is it unusual for the 3 WAN LEDs on the Linksys Router to all go OFF for a   
   moment and back ON when it is started up?   
      
   Thanks from the old Idiot Light watcher.

   ... Heck, if it's fried, sweet, smoked or greasy, I'll eat it.
