Curious.. what is your BogoMips rating on that box?

You can ping the IP addresses but not the names?
If you can't ping names, what did you configure on the internal
hosts for their DNS server? Unless you configured DNS on your
MASQ server, the internal hosts should be configured to use
@Home's DNS servers.

This would be a great idea. This topic is covered in the DNS-HOWTO doc
usually found in /usr/doc/HOWTO
Also.. about DHCP, I'm also on @home and though they use DHCP to delve
out IP addresses, they do it in a static fashion. In the TriValley, CA
area, the DHCP client says, "I'm c-123243-a, what is my IP address" and
it will always give you out the same IP.
