At home I have a Verizon DLS service, using a Westel DLS modem. At work once had Internet service from Comcast, and a Linksys WRT55AG wireless router.

What did fix the problem was to go into the router setup (going to 192.168.1.1), and from Setup/Basic Setup/Network Setup, change the Router IP to 192.168.2.1.
