Diane, 

You were right and I was wrong (again)!  I went back to the default
settings of

192.168.1.254  gateway.2wire.net

and started getting the error messages again when I tried to pop my
mail at pop.att.yahoo.com.   I added two of the better DNS's from a
recent namebench run and I now have less error messages.

After messing around with the System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS,
I have come to the conclusion that adding one ahead of default really helps.
The generic

8.8.8.8  google-public-dns-a-google.com

works as good as anything. The namebench always seems to find
a better selection even it you use the one it last said was best.

Still playing around with it

Dick
