Hi, Carl-

I too have had my share of blues with the Cox DNS servers lately. I
run a dual boot, and have found that internet access through Windows
runs slow, but DHCPCD just calls it quits when the DNS servers are
having problems. I did figure out at one point that traffic was being
routed through west.cox.net with ip address 68.1.17.7, and I added
that to my list of DNS IPs, but without appreciable improvement. I
spoke to a friend yesterday who is a Cox Windows user, and he was also
complaining about Cox's internet service being extremely slow. 

Everything seems to be running OK now. Hopefully Cox has fixed their
DNS doohickies. I am using a domain name of 

ph.cox.net

with IP addresses

68.2.16.30
68.1.208.30
68.1.17.7
