Wicked! that worked... How weird... I'm going to have to look this up and read about it... it seems weird that the kernel would have it on by default if it's as common as it seems to me.
Thanks a million!
You don't happen to have any links of where you found this, do you?
Here's one:

Bottom line is that the behavior is a result of broken routers, and the kernel leaves it enabled because it *should* work.
Would be interesting to know what make/model of router the original poster is using, that exhibited this problem, and which firmware version.
Unless the problem is in his ISP....

It's further up the line... remember, some websites work, others don't... I suppose it depends on the amount of data coming from the remote site, but everything internal works great and the bigger sites, like google, yahoo, mapquest, etc. all work fine... it's the smaller sites that I had problems with... Believe me, I wish I knew when this problem was but I don't think it's any of the networking gear here in the office...
Thanks to everyone who replied... I would have been searching for weeks on this one.
