OT, but I'd just like to make you aware of [1] and the ensuing discussion, 
perhaps you want to bear that in mind when buying Belkin products in the 
future. (If you use google, you'll find some press coverage of this 
issue as well).

Abstract: Some Belkin routers hijack one TCP connection every 8 hours and
redirect it to an advertisement site, promoting their parental control
feature.  Yes, it's really TCP hijacking at the router, it's not a script
installed on the client computer with the control software or some such.
Belkin downplayed the issue, deleted a first posting by a Belkin employee
from google groups and generally, IMHO, proved that they did not feel at 
all that what they were doing was a bad thing.

cheers
