-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Shawn,
I'm also on Telus DSL package and have a number of boxes behind an IPCop firewall and yes, I have seen the same behaviour. For me, it was a simple matter of providing a few alternate DNS servers, seeing as the ones that were being assigned to me by Telus DHCP had "issues" (in typical Telus fashion). I have found that 199.185.220.36 seems to yield the most stability for me, but YMMV ;-) Anyway, if all else fails, call Telus tech support (shudder) and ask them to provide you with alternate DNS servers and you should be 'gold'.
