This makes it possible to connect with Roaring Penguin, but then you can't go anywhere... I suggest doing a google search for Verizon DNS so you can keep a list to try. I called tech support once when this happened and they informed me that their propietary pppoe dhcp cliet doesn't use dns. The on duty manager confirmed this miracle. I then had a friend do the above search and was ready to go. If by some miracle you get a linux friendly tech get e-mail addresses. It is your only hope if you ever need it. I lost mine... I did have excellent uptime and since Verizon hasn't mastered rate limiting, was doubling the speeds I paid for. I have solved all these issues by moving into a dca fed home. :) pinkee -- www.cavegirl.org www.mydarlingchild.com "Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundie and sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him" Crash Test Dummies Attachment:
