Yup, that makes sense. I was expecting it to be 192.168.15.1 though, in
which case I would expect the router to get the nameservers from the
modem connection. In any case, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Does the same 'blackout' period occur on your computer when your wife's
laptop is also connected to the linksys router? Or does it occur only
when your computer is ON.
And during that blackout period, does pinging 4.2.2.2 not work? 4.2.2.2
is, IIRC, a public nameserver by Yahoo. If pinging this works during
that time, then you have a nameserver problem, if it doesn't then you
have a connection or other networking problem.
