Vista - Linksys Router & RC1

Sam, another thing to try is to add your ISPs DNS server as an alternative
DNS in your TCP/IP IPv4 settings.
My primary DNS server is my router, alternative is ISP's DNS server.

If your PC uses a Marvell Yukon ethernet controller, this is a bug in build
5600 and older. Build 5728 fixes it.

If you don't have 5728, you can go into Device Manager and bring up the
Properties page for your Marvell. In the Advanced tab, disable all of the
"checksum offload" options (4 of them,I think). This should fix you up.

Tim, this fixed the problem. I have a Marvell Yukon controller and after
making the suggested changes everything worked. The only question is why
would it work when I connected directly to the cable modem when the problem
wasn't the router but the ethernet controller? Just curious.

Thanks again.
