Thanks, Ed-

You're a prince among men. I plugged in the new DNS numbers you
suggested, and I now have connectivity with the internet through Linux
once more. I don't have a router box- mine is just a stand-alone PC. Is
there a way for me to detect the correct DNS numbers if Cox decides to
change things again in the future?

Thanks again, and thanks to all who responded to my post.

Thanks, Ed-
You're a prince among men. I plugged in the new DNS numbers you suggested,
and I now have connectivity with the internet through Linux once more.
I don't have a router box- mine is just a stand-alone PC. Is there a way
for me to detect the correct DNS numbers if Cox decides to change things
again in the future?
Thanks again, and thanks to all who responded to my post.

Hi, all-
I am a linux newbie (2 years experience) living here in Phoenix. I run
a dual boot with Corel Linux 2nd edition and Windows 98. I am regrettably
posting to you from the Windows side, as I am now unable to connect to
the intranet using Linux.
I had no appreciable problems connecting until yesterday. I have verified
that DHCPCD is still starting at boot-up and is running. Ifconfig shows
that the network connection is up, and the ip addresses look valid to me,
although on one or two occasions when I have run it the RX line shows that
a large amount of data has been dropped. I am no whiz at this, but I think
that I have tried the most obvious, such as killing DHCPCD and then restarting
from a command line with -r, -h, etc--, renaming the resolve.conf file,
shutting off power to the modem and then restarting the modem, all without
success.  I am at wit's end here, I hate using Windows, and
I want my Linux back.
Is anyone else having these blues? I thought it odd that this happened
on the day after Cox supposedly terminated any vestiges of @home service
(e-mail, etc.) I would appreciate any help/advice you can give on troubleshooting
and fixing this problem.
Thanks,
Lee Einer,
