Thank you JRS,
And why I do follow the counsel of this List!
Perhaps I need to update my clients to use the DNS servers of my 'new ISP'
bellsouth.
I have been using the openDNS servers at 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
in all my machines cmd>ipconfig /all listings. Hmm. I'll try this. I do
know what the assigned DNS servers are for me. One is in Atlanta, GA, the
other is in Miami, FL.
I do suspect that I am using the PPPoE protocol and have admin's the router
with my UserID and PW. Have had some use broadband, but it keeps dropping
out even though all the LEDS on the modem are proper.
I do so love an ethernet challenge!
Best,
Duncan

Not too cautious to my way of thinking. I have never to this day
installed the software or CD pacbell wanted me to for my DSL.
I just found the settings pages online and set up windows with the proper
DNS and IP settings manually.
I refuse to use those install CD's, they all seem to install junk I do not
want, like branded versions of IE, etc....

Facts do not cease to exist just
because they are ignored.
Did get the "install" CD. I have looked at its' files. Sheesh! What a bunch
of stuff! But I suppose it has to cover many bases and user configs. I spent
most of yesterday exploring the CD trying to figure out what it does and/or
might do when launched. I suspect not being a programmer limits my
abilities to determine much.
I have not launched the CD and allowed it to do its' thing yet simply because
I am concerned about how it will modify the PC I use for the "setup." Am I
being more cautious than necessary?
