See if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modem. Installing
squid on your computer and configuring shorewall so that your computer
acts as a transparent proxy for all the computers on your LAN is a
good idea. You might want to go further and set up your computer to
provide email services to the computers on your LAN. Setups with
dyndns --- if you can't get a static IP --- work reasonably well to
receive your email directly. That frees you a great deal from the
usually ridiculous limits email service providers impose on their
users and greatly speeds up and easyfies things for the users on the
LAN.
Umm, to run a proper mail server, you wouldn't and probably shouldn't be
able to use a dynamic IP.
The MX record for mail must have a "real" A record that has a fixed IP;
and that A record's IP should have a proper reverse DNS -- anything less
and you'll have all sorts of trouble sending / receiving mail directly
from / to your own mail server.
