-- nameserver 68.13.16.30 nameserver 68.9.16.30 search om.cox.net Those are the DNS IPs from my service provider Cox Cable as you can see. My router/firewall has an internal LAN address of 192.168.0.6 but an external address given as static by the Service Provider of 68.96.17.xxx. So I set the gateway on my workstation as 192.168.0.6 and set for dhcp . The firewall/router then provides the passthrough the internet and the DHCP addresses. I do this with the MCC and don't know which config file the info might be in to show in an orderly manner. Somebody give me a hint, cause I am a gui kind of guy and the 10 zillion files are not real familiar to me. HTH Dennis M. linux user # 180842
