Kevin,

Yes, this weird page comes and goes. Its appearance is coupled to a very 
noticeable reduction in throughput. In other words, I may be surfing 
along just fine, and then page loads get slower and then bam this weird 
page appears. I have to wait a while and then it usually gets better. 
However, these events seem to be happening more often and lasting longer.

Since cox does not generate this page (or so they say), I started down a 
path that assumed they are not at fault. If their dns servers are flaky, 
then perhaps that is the cause of the problem after all?

Sorry to be a newbie - how do I find other name servers? I also think 
the name servers are contained in my Linksys router, which sits between 
my PC and the cable modem. BTW, I already tried removing the router and 
going straight to the cable modem, but I got hit by the same problem 
after a while of surfing).

Thanks!

Mark
