for instance, what happens when you ping the wireless router by IP from his laptop? what happens when you ping a google IP from his laptop? i ask because maybe it's just a DNS quirk, and you could lock down his nameservers to some of the free ones (ie google dns: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/). when i want the one-step "damnit i said stop mucking with my /etc/resolv.conf file, network startup scripts and dhclient!" solution, i edit, then chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf. works on any distro, kills buggy dns server specs dead. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
