Huh?
I have read something saying that some linux DHCP client software
isn't very reliable. I find that hard to believe. Is this true?

So there would only be an issue (for me) should verizon change
the DNS server IP address...assuming DNS info. is not being

Is this a something a moron like me could fix, or should I get
