Heres what my resolv.conf is, ive changed it to use the router and itself, 
no change in status:


[vic at yeaguy ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
#domain yeaguy.com
#nameserver     10.1.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
[vic at yeaguy ~]$

Im currently set to use the router..

The WIN pc is using:

209.18.47.61 and 209.18.47.62.. hmm.. i will try those..

Still hangs and times out.. but able to resolve and ping google.com just 
fine.... grrrr...

I got google to come up after refreshing the page, nytimes still does not 
come up no matter what, can telnet it just fine on port 80 tho...

this doesnt make sense.
