Paul, I can't check my windows machine now (I am in Harrisburgh, PA...going to school there). I think the documentation did mention something abou Windows Clients, and their own dns server (207.172.3.8 and 207.172.3.9). I am not even sure if my Pops modem supported V.92 standard. To answer your question: I followed the documention step by step / diagram by diagram, and still no luck. I checked quicknet.net and here are the good numbers for it : Allentown, PA 610-477-0005 Easton, PA 610-333-1011 Paoli, PA 610-727-0001 Parkesburg, PA 610-857-6005 Pottstown, PA 610-850-0005 Reading, PA 610-750-0005 West Chester, PA 610-883-1015 West Grove, PA 610-806-7005 I live (or my parents) in Upper Darby, so I can't get connected here because of long distance issues. Does Bluelight support linux and does it have those annoying ads? Thanks, Naresh. On Tue, 17 Sep 2002, Paul wrote: > > > > > >Yes! I have been having problems with RCN internet connection too.
