OK, now you have *me* nervous. I had a problem earlier day with newegg.com
getting redirected to dpbolvw.net. The latter is bad news and is blocked in
my HOSTS file. So I got to reading this thread and decided to check my
firewall settings in my D-Link 604 router.
Look at http://mewnlite.com/di-604.gif
The 4 circled items were not put there by me. The rest of them are all
items I have listed under virtual server. According to what I've Googled,
the legit Teredo has something it do with IPv6. The LIMExxxxxxxxx entries
do not ring a bell with me - do they to anyone else?
