Carl,
First, when I said I connected through DHCPI connected through another modem
without a router, I have a business and residential
account with Cox so I connected on my residential modem which gave me a dynamic
address
Cox configured the Cisco 2600 router so it doesnt have
DHCP enabled
The nameservers that I am using are Cox nameservers
When I type in an adress for example googleit just says "Looking for
www.google.com"
when I looked in /etc/resolv.conf it says
search localhostnameserver 68.105.28.11nameserver 68.105.29.12
by the way, Cox gave me these nameservers lastnight, I previously had two
differentnameserver adresses
When I tried to connect using the IP addressof google it just says transferring
data from 74.125.95.103 and never does anything else
Thanks,
Michael
