I have a seperate router and cable modem but when I want to switch DNS I have to set up the new one in the router. I am not sure about DSL but my resolve.conf points to the router (192.168.1.1). The router then requests DNS services according to what's been set-up in it. -- Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
