Well "semi-bingo" insofar as individual computers can now bypass the 
router's DNS setting (all the Linux boxes I have connected to my router),
but other devices (my wife's iPad, my G3 iMac running 9.2) cannot, and 
as such cannot access the websites that that DNS seems unable to reach.

What makes me feel uncomfortable is that those sites seem to be the ones 
we contact the most, which makes me wonder if somebody
has been mucking around somewhere.

Supposedly (!!!!) the ISP (BLIZOO, Bulgaria) are going to send a pair of 
monkeys, err, strike that, "computer engineers" to play around with my 
cable modem and my router: this, frankly, doesn't make me feel good at 
all - who paid them, who has told them exactly what to install (spybots)?

Nothing would give me greater satisfaction than to greet them at the 
door and tell them "Thanks, but  no thanks", having managed to change my 
DNS in the router (EDIMAX TP-LINK) via the browser interface myself: but 
I don't think that can be done . .  .

Richmond.
