Linksys WRT54G won't go to www.usps.com

If I connect my compter directly to the cable modem or I use a Proxy Server in Opera, I can go to

without difficulty. However, when the router is in place, it just times out ("Could not connect to remote server.").

I've tried IE and Firefox with the same negative results. I've reset the router to no avail.

Ad-aware and Spybot had no correcting effect. This problem is about a week old.

Any ideas?

Set the router IP address both as the default gateway and as a defined DNS server.

that I remember) that I couldn't go to at all. But with the router removed I could access them. I spent weeks troubleshooting it myself and with Linksys. They had me try changing all kinds of things none of which helped. Finally they said to go thru the RMA process and replace it under warranty. I couldn't imagine a router picking out a couple url's but I went ahead with the RMA anyway. Guess what? When I got the new one the problem disappeared.

Using one here. No problem. Very strange symptom.

When it was replaced everything cleared up and has been fine since then. But it's funny that we both had problems with

I didn't mean to imply that all WRT54G's have a problem with usps.com. But I've had one and heard of a few that do for some strange reason. And mine didn't at first either.
