Does the modem appear to be talking to Verizon at all, synched?
Verizon gives 4.2.2.1 as the secondary and primary DNS. You'll need to
tell the configuration program that you're using pppoe and your log-in
name and password. (I'm looking at the Belkin router's configs now).
Some of this may be in your network config files rather than in the
RoaringPenguin program. You want to check that for configuring your
machine, too, as in make sure that it understands what the dns is.
I put in as secondary dns 151.197.0.37
This is going in your network config files. I think this was the thing
that threw me. I expected to put that in the pppoe program.
(Now, if my .procmailrc file doesn't put all my mail in this folder,
I'll be a happy woman).
