The most common message while waiting (forever) is "Opening page
........" The browser is IE 6. I'll have a chat with the girlfriend
about installing a different browser. The slowness goes way beyond
aol.com. Some other sites that wouldn't load on the Win box that I could
turn around and load immediately on the Linux router are:

www.star94.com
www.morningstar.com
www.half.com
www.bankofamerica.com

I turned off the "QoS Packet Scheduler" on the Win box to see if could
be part of the problem....no difference. Any other ideas in the
meantime?

Thanks All,
