If I use MSIE 5.5, from an external connection, it fails with a DNS
error. If I use Netscape 4.76 from the same machine, it all works fine.

Like I said, everything worked fine before I switched to this router
from my Linux router (I had 2 web servers running, one on this port, and
one on the usual port 80.)

Note that the server name in httpd.conf is 24.5.14.144 (I checked when
someone mentioned it), not keroon. I also notice in the log that
(apparently) some folks have no trouble, and others do.

All in all, it would work just fine if I uploaded to an external server
with a public IP/hostname, but my question still stands: Is it worth it
(using a newer kernel version of course)? There is over 1GB of HTML here
(that would take a while to U/L even on a cable modem :)
