I'm personally not a big fan of the search domain setting, especially when it comes to Comcast. It tells your computer to query Comcast's domain and if they can't resolve your query they'll redirect you at their discretion. Of course they do this because businesses pay them $ to do it. So I don't ever set a search domain and although I use Qwest I always point to a public DNS server. I point to University of Oregon's 2 pub DNS servers. I also run a my own dns cache server on my Linux notebook too so that probably makes me a bit of DNS freak But I want my DNS fast & true. And I don't want anybody messing with my queries, especially some cable tv company... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
