Just a heads-up, NoCatAuth (which I believe FreeGeek is using) typically won't let you use your own nameservers because all your traffic (with specific exceptions) is blocked until you accept the conditions. In those cases, the network is expecting you to use its DHCP supplied nameserver(s). I'm going to guess (necessary since you don't provide enough information) that your machine is not accepting the DHCP provided nameserver(s), but using your own overrides (8.8.8.8 is one of google's public DNS servers). I don't actually know how FreeGeek is configured. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
