[PLUG] Browser Blues - Continued

[William A Morita]

Bruce,

I have an Actiontec GT701-WT DSL Modem/Router with Qwest DSL service.

I tried power cycling the DSL Modem/Router.  No Help.

I tried plugging the network cable into the second network interface.  
The idea being that a new MAC address would force the DHCP to generate a new
IP.
New IP address, but this did not change the problem, so it is likely not the
DHCP.

I am out of things to try,

I am open to suggestions

I had (have) the same issue with a Verizon DSL line and Ubuntu.  I don't
know what the solution is, but, I know what the problem is.

I have an Actiontec GT704WG modem/router.  Every time I turn the wireless
off or on, or just turn the modem off for the night, I get the Browser
Blues.  Somehow the problem seems to just fix itself if I leave things alone
for a while.  In my case I am able to use Konqueror until Firfox and the
modem make up to each other.  If I leave the Actiontec alone, all is good.

I have the intention of installing a firewall on the computer and turning
off the one on the modem to see if that solves the problem.  All I need is a
little time...
