I have tested this on UNIX systems and it picks up the DNS settings correctly. I don't know why, but I have seen and heard of the above three randomly assigning DNS IP addresses. The ranges we have seen so far are 2.2.2.2, 10.11.12.13, 4.4.4.4 and strangly, 193.0.0.1 (which if I am not wrong, is a RIPE address). SuSE Linux, Mac, Windows and the UNIX flavours we have tested all receive the correct DNS settings. -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
