-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Murray, It should not drop out. However, two things to check:
1. Do you have an inline filter on all phones that connect to the same line as the router(you don't need one for the router)? If you don't this will cause problems such as poor connections and dropouts. 2. When the dropouts occur, does the router/modem drop the connection or just the computer? I should have remembered that dhclient.conf in the /etc/dhcp3 subdirectory resets it automatically when it poles so if you check the Network admin dialog you will see that the DNS has been corrected automatically for you. Hope that helps Heracles Murray Waldron wrote: > G'day Heracles, > > This worked, but I'm not sure exactly which address the DNS of my modem > is.
