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 assume we are no longer to specify nameservers. ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
