BTW

I isolated the bad DNS return problem, and have decided it is NOT comcast's doing. It was PC Cillan's Web Security option.

I turned it on after the latest worm, and immediately had the problem again all day yesterday. I had not had a bad DNS return since the last time I turned it off in my trouble shooting months ago.

However, today, I got a notice that my subscription for PC Cillan was running out, and bought the new version of PC Cillan 2003. Turned everything on and so far all is well!

Keep in mind if you have trouble with yours up at the bachelor pad.... It isn't Comcast, I am sure of it now, it is a weird conflict with the old version of PC Cillan.

Barring some heretofore unforseen can-of-worms, my report is 'finished' for now. Goes out for technical review mid-week next. *WHEW*
