i foung a "workaround" to this problem... i was looking at the paradise
usage logs to see if i could figure out where it was that the router was
trying to send all this data...

203.96.152.4... hmmmm the primary paradise DNS server.... i wonder if this
has anything to do with the new DNS relay functionality...

so i ticked the little box that says... enable DNS relay...

and bang... the router stops spazzing out... and everything is AOK....

i havent entered any IP address in the DNS relay IP address fields... but
everything seems to be running OK... and my DHCP client machine seems to be
operating fine...

If i untick the box... bang... spazmo city again... with the data light
winking away like mad and lots of traffic going out...

all i can say is bizarre! and when the tech support guy empties his voice
mailbox and/or turns off the incorrectly configured auto responder on
support@dynalink.co.nz i'll leave a message...

cheers,
Jared
