You can change the dns address on the actiontec. IIRC, It's in the setup menu.

It it doesn't stick keep trying until it does. It should work. Mine does...

Are you using DHCP or a manually configured address?  What's in your

The computer gets IP address, etc. and DNS from the Belkin router using
DHCP.  The Belkin gets IP, DNS, etc. from the Actiontec modem using
DHCP.  The Actiontect gets everything with DHCP too.

So yes, DHCP all around.  I tried switching the DNS values to static on
my Belkin and on my Actiontec, but neither one helped.

/etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten with the following when my networks
starts up:
search sshockhome
nameserver 192.168.2.1

192.168.2.1 is the IP of my Belkin router.  If you look on Belkin
router, it says that its DNS server is 192.168.0.1, which is the IP of
my Actiontec.

If I hard code my /etc/resolv.conf with the following, everything works
fine:
nameserver 206.81.128.1
nameserver 205.171.3.65

Thanks,
Phillip
