CONFIG_DNS = NO is already set in lrcfg (network.conf) and via DHCP, the lan computers get 192.168.1.254 as the DNS server. (there is no seconday, however.) I checked these things --- that is why I am stumped. >>RWT guitarlynn wrote: >On Monday 22 July 2002 17:53, Richard W. Tibbs wrote: > >>

Well, this is reassuring. For the record, we had a hiccup here in the Roanoke VA area that (probably) hosed the cable modem. I had to power-cycle the modem (and rebooted the Dach firewall) before connectivity was restored. The "muliple modems off-line" problem might be due to flaky head-end eq
