my DSL connector aint picking up my DNS entries so i have to manually enter them into the TCP/IP properties, but even then it dont always work.... some reason or another, its not getting the right IP's in the appropriate areas. I have turned off DNS as a service thinking that would help. This problem prevents me from connecting to the net or anything else, i have to disconnect and reconnect at times to make it work, or just enter in information manually and just keep repeating the con/reconnect till one of them works..... help :(

Get a new isp that works or get a new box that works.

that thought done crossed my mind
