Yes, my properties for my connection are to obtain DNS services automatically. Actually, I have a DOS script with a shortcut from my Start menu for IPConfig all. For the DNS server, it gives me the IP address of my local router, which is between my PC and my cable modem. I might try recabling and connect my PC directly to the modem to see what IPConfig gives me. -- David E.
