 Hi,

 Just received my XO and I've been having difficulty connecting to the web
 with the browser.

 I'm running an actiontec router...had issues even having it show up in the
 neighborhood view until I switched over from channel 9 to channel 6 per
 the recommendation of a friend.  This effectively made the actiontec
 router show up in the neighborhood view.

 Browser worked intermittantly.

 Today I go to log on again and I can get certain websites:
 http://www.burgerking.com; http://www.mcdonalds.com; http://www.wcnx.org;
 http://craigslist.org.  I can ping google.com and get packets back, 109ms.
 But if I type google.com or http://www.google.com or
 http://mail.google.com into the browser it runs incessantly and then I get
 a network timeout error.

 Here are the specs on the WAN/LAN etc from my router, just incase:

 ========

 WAN Status:  Conencted; PPPoE; IP Address: 75.100.188.152; Subnet Mask
 255.255.255.255; Gateway 75.100.184.1; DNS 1: 216.165.129.157; DNS 2:
 216.170.153.146

 Lan Status:   IP Address:  192.168.0.1; Net Mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP On.

 SSID Broadcast:  Enable; 802.11b/g mode:  802.11g only

 mac authentication:  accept all clients.  no exceptions.

 wireless on; ESSID: GriffithAp; Channel: 6; Security: Off

 -------------

 Both my ubuntu machine and my olpc show up in the ARP table and the active
 user list as DHCP connected and IP assigned (192.168.0.3 for the OLPC;
 192.168.0.6 for ubuntu).

 Any ideas as to why this is behaving this way??
