I loathe networking
The past 4 or 5 times I've set up a home network (moving sucks), I've used a linksys router. Every, single, time... It's been a major headache. I once spent literally 12 hours connecting 3 computers (XP + win 98 + win 95 = FAILURE). Today, I gave up on linksys and bought a d-link router. It took less than 10 minutes to set up the entire network. That was awesome.
D-Link makes me happy. <3

The only stable router I've ever had has been the WRT54GL with custom firmware. It's just awesome.
Just make sure it's the WRT54GL - no other variation is nearly as good.
Check out http://wrtrouters.com for firmware, I use Thibor's HyperWRT and LOVE IT.

I'm with the others, linksys is awesome.
I think your problem is you're trying to network 3 different versions of windows. That thought alone makes ME cringe.

I have a linksys wireless in the basement...in my room I have a D-Link range booster so i can connect to the net from my desktop, server and laptop...
The range booter works awesome, as I can now access the interet from outside in the trailer in the summer or when sitting in the garage. Couldn't do that before with the booster - wireless signal was to weak.
In anycase, both D-LInk and Linksys play nice so far, in the household.
