If I recall correctly, you weren't even able to telnet into
www.ucomics.com's port 80. Do I recall correctly?
telnet www.ucomics.com 80
Trying 63.161.87.120...
Connected to ucomics.com.

I suggest that either you have a misconfigured LinkSys, or you
have some kind of virus/worm in your machine's IP stack.
Do this.
Get another Linux box onto your ethernet. Run Ethereal. Capture
all traffic while trying to connect. See what's happening on your
local net. (If you want, you can save the trace from Ethereal and
mail it to me. I'd be happy to look at it.)
If the workstation is successfully sending out the TCP SYN packets,
then maybe your firewall isn't forwarding them for whatever reason.
If the local box is not sending out the packets, or is sending out
broken/translated packets, then there's something weird going on in
the box's IP stack.
Have you rebooted or checked the configuration of the LinkSys
recently?
