Dave C asks about WAP...

Dave, one think to think about (and only because I had this problem will 
ALL my outdoor, direct buried CAT 5 cable.

Make sure that on both sides there is  'surge' like protection.  I've lost 
countless devices till I figured this out.  I ended up going either 
wireless, aerial, or unplug the connections due to this problem.

it's doesn't take much stray voltage (from a lighting strike or something) 
to 'brick' a WEP.

I may be wrong, but that is what I ended up doing to prevent the failures 
I was seeing.
