I wonder if this has anything to do with one of those free dynamic DNS services like OpenDNS or EasyDNS. Just yesterday I got an email from a service like this (forget which one) and they said something about "you may have noticed the chang-over to XXXX" as it seems they merged or were bought by another company or something. Seems strange that I got that the same day this company is having issues with DNS.

Thanks for this. I was at a customer's house yesterday who had a Belkin router & was having connectivity issues. Unable to determine the issue, we replaced the router, thankfully with a non-Belkin device.

Just reaffirms my lack of faith in Belkin.
