Unable to access certain Web sites... FOLLOW UP....

No, add your ISP's primary and secondary DNS servers ie. Don't
let your router to an "automatic" lookup BUT  you should provide
the dns servers ips manually in the routers config. I am sure a good
router will allow you to do this via it http interface. But a good router
will also not have a buggy dns server ;-).

The other thing you can try is disabling IPv6 in FireFox. If it allows you
you to access/browse more sites, then it is definately a problem with
your routers DNS server...

What router are you using, D-Link ones are know to be buggy in NZ?

Thanks
