Hi, This ADSL problem sounds like what I had from Friday till yesterday when it went away. I also use a Linux firewall. I kept on getting email and could go to the web via a proxy on the firewall but the going to the web from my Linux computer behind the firewall directly did not work... I spoke with Bezeq (AKA Actom) They had me online for 15 minutes trying to verify my identity and then when they passed me to tech support I got a beep, beep beep. Now its all working with no changes... Go figure. Ghiora
