Thanks Bryan - thats exactly what I did - and it works fine now (apart from ICS doesn't automatically dial a connection as needed - that would be nice...)
Someone else sent me this information (Friend or Erikas) Why oh why though is that the default setting? - I would have thought that the majority of DNS servers should not be root... Any WTF couldn't that information (how to make a DNS server non root) been visible somewhere in the help / documentation - ideally on the screen that says "You can't do this because your server is a root DNS server..." Oh well Thanks for the help... PS - if anyone knows how to make ICS autodial when there is another DNS server installed on the machine - I would appreciate it...
