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?

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....
