A good guess will be that you have dhcp turned on in the router and on your machine....
However you say that your connection is like a 56k modem (or slower), not sure why dns would matter on this one.... You should find with most adsl/ cable modems that using their build in dns is fine, they will have got your isp's dns server address' via dhcp and will be using those to respond to your machine. I'm assuming your problem is more that when using the web for example that downloads go slow rather than you not being able to get to sites? -----Original Message----- From: Luca Zampetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 January 2003 23:58 To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: Internet with Debian & Cayman 3220 router slower than with Windows & 56K modem Importance: High It is a real pain .... there is a program for setting the pppoe connection that shows up in some kde menu, running it leads the OS to discover it has a eth0 (which it already knows) and to nothing else because apparently the interface is already in use by some connection (wonder which one, I have only one ...) ... ifconfig does not help either ... Why does the OS overwrite the resolv.conf file with the settings it "invented" automatically during the installation instead of accepting my ISP provider IP address for the DNS server?
