The problem appeared to be a dd-wrt bridge setup issue, even after setting a static IP. I just bought two Powerline Ethernet adapters and now it has been problem free.
Just wanted to post an update in case anyone else using a dd-wrt router and U-verse is having the same issue.
As I logged on to check this tonight I realized the error in my previous post. I am NOT using OSPi, it is just the standard Opensprinkler. I thought they were the same thing, but clearly they are not.
