I can find no evidence that this router has any VPN functionality, and since I 
have the same problem on 2 networks, my other router (which is a different 
brand) would also have to have VPN functionality.  I had the thought that 
there might be some firewall functionality running on this platform (Kubuntu 
6.10), but I can find no evidence of that functionality either.  Certainly I 
never set up a firewall on the system (because the router provides that 
service).  The best theory going now is the one from Richard that the problem 
has to do with IPv6 vs IPv4.  I will check that next.

I am disturbed by this output from nslookup:

[jeffbarish at duo:~]$ nslookup www.yahoo.com
Server:         192.168.0.1
Address:        192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.yahoo.com   canonical name = www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net.
Name:   www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net
Address: 209.131.36.158

[jeffbarish at duo:~]$ nslookup www.yahoo.com
Server:         192.168.0.1
Address:        192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.yahoo.com
Address: 209.131.36.158

Notice that the first time I issue the command, I get a canonical name back, 
but the second time I do not.  Is nslookup actually working when I do not get 
the canonical name?  When I specify the DNS server of my ISP in the nslookup 
command, I always get the canonical name back.
