Ok, glad you have a way around it anyhow...it's appalling
that they (ISP's) have done this...ours has an "opt-out"
feature on their web page, but i'd soon discovered that
my opt-out settings were reset every time the ip lease
would change on the router..the motorola router has
a wi-fi feature which we can pay extra to enable, and
once enabling the wifi I was able to go into their
router and change a few things, such as DMZ and also
manually inserint DNS servers among other tweaks..so
now I pay an extra $5.00/month for that..but at least I
can now administer the router...GL Eric...
Cheers, de John

I'm aware that verizon does this as well which is the root source of the
issue as marius pointed out but in my case as the hosts in question get
their dns via dhcp from a router provided by the isp which for political
reasons I won't go into I have no access to so as to change the resolvers
it uses. thus the fix will be telling each host to ignore the resolvers
it's given via dhcp and use others instead.... or just simply placing these
boxen outside the dhcp range of the router and setting them up on static ip
in a range not issued by the router but still within the routers private
subnet.
