Hi all, After having installed several distros and actually building a new computer, I finally found out on the net why I was having so much trouble with Qwest DSL. The default DNS numbers were wrong. The solution: System > Administrator > Network > DNS TAB: Primary DNS = 205.171.2.65 Secondary DNS = 205.171.3.65 Tertiary DNS = Blank DNS search path set at DEFAULT That was it. Now I access the net and also my email just as I should. I KNEW that the answer to the problem would be something relatively simple (although, in this case, obscure). I suppose that if I knew more about debugging, I might have found the answer myself. Naaah! My hat's off to whoever found that DNS hack.
