I'm connecting to the internet through a dlink router. This is what I have in resolv.conf: ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script search we1.client2.attbi.com nameserver 192.168.0.1 This looks suspicious since AT&T sold the broadband business to comcast. Thanks Scot and Clifford. I'll experiment with the resolv.conf tonight and post results. As a reminder I have no problem with other sites like schwab, putnam, or smithbarney.
