RE: [Plug] Linux compatible ISPs


Hmmm, that sounds like the problem I have with my ISDN router.  I will
connect everything is fine, I download something and now I cant find
anything on thenet.  and then to top it off, the download dies.  I have to
disconnect and reconnect the router to do anything.  I did try putting the
DNS directly onto the configureation of the router, and that helpped
things a bit.  Is there anything in the modem configuration that will
hold DNS?
