I'll post the changes tonight.  We also did a few changes to Apache, I'll try to dig
those up.

We had to change the MTU to 1452 from 1492 (this is again off the top of my head), the
problem that we had was some network names could not be resolved and by changing the
maximum transmission unit we were once again able to resolve all addresses.  This seems
to be a known issue with Windows XP and in some rare cases Linux (has something to do
with upstream equipment from our modem).
