time stamp of /etc/resolv.conf on f16 is oct4... consistent with
last boot of f16
I am not proficient with cameras of any type.
Also leery of too much pushing around that jumble of
equipment. Will get down there again and see if can get
better description.
Might be able to get att on phone to
tell me what was put in, but our experience on the phone is not good.

I hope this is it!
Still confused on this point:
the mixed system with 192.168.2.8 static on f16
and 192.168.1.0 network, dhcp, currently 192.168.1.71 on imac
was working fine on the old adsl pacbell modem.
So why can't this new uverse also deal with that mix?
And I much prefer static IP for f16.
the network 192.168.2.0 is also
used in configs of [previously used]
:linksys router
:netgear wless access point,
both of which I would need to be working
if we have to give up uverse and go back to old adsl pacbell modem,
hopefully without reconfiguration of the linksys, netgear.
(I forget completely just how to do that, web-based I think)
Instead of changing my f16 to dhcp,
would it be sufficient on f16
to keep my static config
but convert to 192.168.1.0 network?
[or even change the imac to 192.168.2.0?
probably don't want to mess with the imac
since it has working internet with uverse]
Also we know those DNS1, DNS2 are valid
so I would prefer to keep those lines if possible.
not sure about
DOMAIN=pacbell.net
Am I not free to pick almost any name for DOMAIN?
FWIW, here is result of 'ifconfig -a' from the imac:
bash-3.2$ ifconfig -a

thanks much for your response, just maybe it can get the uverse going?
