Still having problems with my Comcast Internet service. Now it looks like my U14.10 Thinkpad 410 connection (wire or w-less) won't do ssh (no route to host), won't give me most web pages, but, amazingly, will connect with gmail, YouTube, and Wikipedia. Also, I can do software updates and synaptic. My Thinkpad T61 (also Ubuntu 14.10) works fine with no weirdness.
