I searched and am fairly sure my problem is unique.
I have earthlink DSL access in Seattle. The problem is that when I use a router or a router/switch (Hawking Technologies PN9225 or Asante FR3000) I can't do certain things. I have a dynamic IP (But that shouldn't be relevant...)

1. I can't access half.com or ebay.com, other sites flat out work fine. I also have trouble shopping online. In general interactive sites don't work well. When I click on certain links the browser reports that "the page contains no data"

2. I can't post in vbulletin forums nor any other as far as I know

3. I can't send email from my mac for some weird reason. PC works fine with the exact same accont. (SMTP)

4. I can't perform an FTP install of SUSE linux. It times out doing DHCP (3com 3c905, should work...) and when I specify the ip manually it can't connect to the ftp server.

If I connect any one machine directly to the DSL modem these problems disappear. I have no clue...
I have tried the Gamut of OS's on this one and they all react differently, but usually have some problems in common.
