[ale] Actiontec DSL modem and Smoothwall: Success!

[rb211 at tds.net (William Bagwell)]

Modem is now in full bridged mode with Smoothwall handling everything. 
Not only are the computers that had the weird DNS issues now working, the 
two that worked before (on all sites) are now much faster with almost no 
latency. Whatever the "Actiontec GT704-GT Gateway" was doing for DNS, it 
was doing it *very* poorly.

Apparently I was the first (at least with problems) using this odd 
combination and had to piece together all the various settings from 
multiple sources. Have started writting them down while they are fresh on 
my mind. Plan to clean it up and post them to a few places so no one else 
has to go through what I just did!

Thanks go to Geoffrey on this list, various posters on the SW and 
broadbandreports forums, and strangely, the Madison Wisconsin LUG. (Which 
came up repeatedly in my Google searches. Probably because of the high 
concentration of TDS users.)
