I meant to take a look at your blog posts the last time you posted them;
but I got too caught up with work. I expect to have some time this
weekend. I'll go over the your setup and see how to adapt it for my use.

That said, I discovered a curious thing. I see the issue when I change
to or from a wireless network. Changing from one ethernet access point
to another does not pose a problem. Last time when I had the problem I
could ping smtp.gmail.com, but I did not check with dig or
tcptraceroute.

Thanks a lot,
