[ale] internet weirdness

[Paul Cartwright]

is it just me, the time change, or is it slow on the internet this morning.
I've had lots of errors in my logs ( mail.err) connecting to my mail server, 
and some web pages ( firefox) just sit and spin, and others come right up...

like this:
tracert att.com
