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
