Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: e93f92a8-21ac-4e01-a70d-3de81fccb8c4 X-Archives-Hash: a9ce733365296ec08f031455c4b038aa Hi folks, I use dial-up and sometimes my ISP "looses" its DNS server for some reason. If I try to go to a site, it just says looking up and sits there until it times out. Going to the IP directly still works. My question is this, is there a way to "reset" the DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf? I notice I have a script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/40-dns.sh that according to what I read is what sets the DNS server when I connect. Is it safe for me to run that manually? The reason I don't want to reconnect is because it is hard to get a good connection out here. I usually get 19.2k but sometimes 21.6k. If I keep trying I can get a 24k connection but it takes several times to get that even. If I get a good one, I get a good tight grip on that puppy. ;-) Thanks for the help. Dale :-) :-)
