Using Earthlink Cable, had it for years, upgraded to Linksys WTRP54G router to use VoIP (previously have had netgear, older Linksys, etc routers). Upon configuration, took default settings, I configured my PC, my Linux box, and my wireless laptop. All seemed to work ok. IP ranges are 192.168.15.100-105, router IP is 192.168.15.1 subnet 255.255.255.0.
I did notice a slight pause when selecting a URL when surfing. It would pause when looking up the name. So I started up nslookup and did a lookup on various domains. Each time it would initially time out but then respond with an IP.
Later I discovered I couldn't send out e-mails from my linux box. After some troubleshooting, I found out that I couldn't resolve MX type domain names (via nslookup). To exclude it being a linux problem, I attempted the nslookup with type MX on my desktop (windows), and still didn't resolve.
Looking at the ipconfig /all everything appears as normal, the dns and wins are all set to 192.168.15.1, which is normal for a DHCP setup (standard). Looked at the router status of the DNS entries received from Earthlink and all seem fine (nothing different compared to my previous routers).
Anyone have any clues? Really baffled on this one.
