Yes, there is thanks Tom. That's what I had been using, but I was trying to find out if there is an "automatic DNS" option in Win ME. As Rod pointed out, and I seem to have confirmed, if you *don't* explicitly specify a DNS server in the manual config then it defaults to the implicit "automatic". [I did run into a glitch there which may have just been coincidence. I'll try to remember to document it if I I have time tomorrow.] >Go to www.opendns.org and on their main page they'll list theirs. Use them. Someone suggested that earlier. It's my fallback position now. :-) Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
