Actually, I don't find that strange at all. From what I've heard, the  
RV042 is a completely different beast from the RV082, in spite of  
their surface similarities. Even with the RV082, I only have the issue  
with newer firmware revisions (1.3.2 and older work fine). So the fact  
that the 042 firmware works while the 082 firmware doesn't really  
doesn't surprise me all that much. If it would help, I could give you  
guys the IP of one of these misbehaving devices, as long as you  
promise not to do anything nasty :) They are accessible from the  
outside, so you should be able to see the behavior I'm describing.  
Might be an interesting test too, see if perhaps my network has  
something to do with it, although I don't think so. Just a thought.  
Thanks again!
