Here is what my resolv.conf looks like after every time I reboot my compuer: search domain.actdsltmp nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 205.171.3.65 Now, if I change it to this (using my secondary DNS server from my DSL modem's 'setup' page): search domain.actdsltmp nameserver 205.171.2.65 ...everything works. Is there a way that I could keep this from changing every time that I reboot my computer? Thanks for the help! /Brian
