	Just so everyone knows, it was not the Netgear wireless AP at home. I
don't know the exact model number of the AP at home, it's one of those
cheap ones populating shelves at your local office supply store. Just
before I replaced it I hooked up to the wired ethernet to check. Same
problem there, seems the supplied AT&T Speedstream modem needs to be
reset every so often. I do not know who the provider is at the Big Boy
so I can't comment on that. It's one of my customers, I'll have to stop
by soon to check again.

Regards,
