Larry,
Check the network adapter for your PC and be sure it is not configured with a static IP for dNS.
I am assuming this is not a network PC and therefore will be using the Verizon DNS servers. If
that is the case, then make sure that the PC obtains DNS information automatically which it will
when it receives an IP from the DSL modem. If you are statically configuring your IP on the PC,
then point your preferred DNS IP to the default gateway of your Verizon modem.

'--'My PC has windows 2000 professional (updated to SP2). I am trying to install

'--'be established. The DSL technical guy told me my PC could not read DNS name
'--'(but my PC can read DNS IP).
'--'1) my pc CAN ping server IP address.
'--'2) my PC CANNOT ping server name (i.e.
www.yahoo.com)
'--'3) IE6 browser cannot open up web pages ("The page cannot be displayed").
'--'4) ipconfig CAN provide me IP for my pc and server
'--'Could any one teach me how to do configuration so that my pc is going to
'--'read both DNS IP and DNS name.
'--'Thanks very much in advance.
