If you are doing pppoe (which I think you mentioned you were) you can set the ppp daemon to config your resolv.conf with your ISPs name servers automatically. Look at the example pppoe configs in /usr/share/doc/rp-pppoe/configs If you are doing LAN DHCP, then config your LAN DHCP server (router) with your ISPs name servers, then have your DHCP config your resolv.conf for you. Disabling ipv6 will prevent some browsers from trying an ipv6 name server lookup on each request. # echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >>/etc/modprobe.conf Then reboot for it to take affect. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
