There is normally a status page on these routers which you connect to via a web browser. It should tell you what ip address its wan interface has been allocated and what it has been told about your isps nameservers. > 3. How can I keep the resolv.conf file from changing each time I reboot? Don't use dhclient, but set your ip address statically. > 4. Why does this fail for Linux/FreeBSD but not for OS X or XP? Don't know - I think Win Xp defaults to getting the all info via dhcp but has the option to set it manually. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
