My understanding is that you only needed the old CX name during the
conversion. It won't be needed any longer, beyond that point. I don't
recall if I read that in their lit. or where. As for specifying name
servers, that should all come in the DHCP package. Their instructions
are to just set your machine to DHCP and it will get all the other stuff
from their DHCP server - normal procedure. 

I got switched to a new IP (on the cox.net) last week without notice.
Just came home and found out the IP had changed. So, last night I went
into Cox's support.cox.net pages, entered my auth #, did the mandatory
password change, and everything's hunky dory. 

Interesting thing is that it seems SSH isn't working inbound. Had
someone test SSH to my box and couldn't connect. It would seem they
aren't allowing that port. Anyone run into this? I know SSH is running
on the box in question. Took down the firewall for a bit to make sure it
wasn't a local firewall problem. No dice.

    I made the conversion this morning and while almost everything "seems to
    be" working I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of
    questions.
    
    It seems that the old host names will continue to work i.e. CXxxxxxx-x.
    Is that correct.  Or can they now also be changed?
    
    How about domain names?  My old name would have been
    CXxxxxxx-x@chdn1.az.home.com.  What is the new domain name?
    
    Is the resolve.conf file to be "deleted".    I assume we are no longer
    to specify nameservers.
