I am using a Verizon MiFi to connect to the net and have no idea which DNS records are being used. I do know that with only the Verizon address I sometime have long waits while connecting. I don't see how that would matter because all of the network files on all 6 distros are exactly the same and the problem does no exist in Testing or Sid Are you running your own router > software or do you use a stand-alone like I do? Dynamic or Static IP? Nothing but the MiFi > B > Wayne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
