I'm at Susy's store now and her computer doesn't have the problem.

I'll check at the office to see if my parasite computers (the ones without the modem) show the same behavior.

At this point I've a feeling that this is related to internet sharing as that might be some kind of proxy in disguise. I will also try removing internet sharing alltogether to see if that is the culprit and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for trying Evan.
