Yup, that makes sense. I was expecting it to be 192.168.15.1 though, in
which case I would expect the router to get the nameservers from the
modem connection. In any case, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

assume that this is the reason for the different address for the DNS
server. I can also access the modem by via 'launchmodem', though
surprisingly not launchmodem.com. I am also able to ping yahoo.com
and 4.2.2.2, or I am when I am not in a down period. I don't know
about 4.2.2.2, as I have never tried anything like that before, but if
I try 'ping www.google.com' during one of the blackouts I get nothing
at all for a minute or so and then it returns a complaint about
unknown host.


Does the same 'blackout' period occur on your computer when your wife's
laptop is also connected to the linksys router? Or does it occur only
when your computer is ON.

And during that blackout period, does pinging 4.2.2.2 not work? 4.2.2.2
is, IIRC, a public nameserver by Yahoo. If pinging this works during
that time, then you have a nameserver problem, if it doesn't then you
have a connection or other networking problem.
