sbc dsl and linksys firewall config issues

[David Nicol]

hmm maybe we're having MTU problems then.  I have a netgear attached to
SBC DSL and spoofing the MAC address of the original computer we
subscribed with.
Most things work perfectly, after manually setting the DNS on the inside network
to SBC's settings -- apparently netgear's DNS proxying is broken as it
advertises
itself with in the DHCP, which only works very irregularly -- I can do
a traceroute
and the occasional hop is identified but not many -- some web sites,
such as yahoo
webmail, return empty pages.  I will try lowering the MTU on my laptop
and see if
yahoo web-mail cheers up.

I have a bike shed. I got it from Home Depot in a flat and 
heavy box, it took several weekends to put together, and
now it has so much junk in it that there is no room for my
bike. It was painted at the factory. I could paint it again if
I felt like it but I doubt I will.
