Problems with DHCPCD and Cox.net

[Lee Einer]

"If you want, resolve and set
ns1.coxmail.com and ns2.coxmail.com
for tertiary and quadrary (sp?). 
They won't change, but they are not
local
to phoenix."

Thanks for the advice, Mike. You
are obviously way beyond me in the
world of Linux and internet issues,
because I don't know what
nsl.coxmail.com and ns2.coxmail.com
are, apart from the fact that they
look like domains and presumably
relate to both Cox and mail. Maybe
you could shoot me an e-mail
offline and help me understand
this. My e-mail address is
appealsman@home.com. 

I don't know if this is along
similar lines, but when I initially
got set up with Cox, I called tech
support for clarification of some
issues, and I was told  that I was
better off using IP addresses for
my mailserver addresses rather than
the domain names that come in the
instructions. I use 68.1.17.2 for
incoming, and 68.1.17.4 for my
outgoing SMTP mailserver. No
problems so far.
