Probably also worth flushing your dns cache http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-debian-ubuntu-flush-clear-dns-cache/ I usually set one of Google's dns servers as one of my alternates, not because I'm particularly enamored of Google, but because their servers support DNSSEC. It's not too widely supported yet, but getting more so to avoid dns poisoning and man-in-the-middle exploits. 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 The next time you configure your router's settings, make sure that the "remote configuration" or whatever it's called on your router is turned off. You *did* change the default password, right? And if your wireless access is enabled, make sure you're using WPA encryption, not WEP. And turn off SSID broadcast - you'll have to type the SSID manually in order to connect the first time, but it will keep your router under the radar. -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.
