Wouldn't the IP change on a DHCP boot? Thanks for the input. Sorry if I am a little dumb about this stuff.

I did a lsmod and saw nothing about ppoe, I also did a search of /var/log/messages for ppoe with no results.

I think I will Fight On here for a while. I don't know anything about routers, and I guess it would cost money. Maybe later. Thank you for the input. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Another thing that is baffling to me is that Google Earth works fine. I looked at tokyo, which I am sure I never did before, to avoid a cacheed answer. It worked fine and the modem lights were real busy.
