DNS. Domain Name Server. (I suspect this is what you meant.)

Is your remote IP address the address of the ISP end of the modem line?

Are you gatewaying through that remote IP address?

If the answers to both are 'yes', then I suspect there may be a problem at
the ISP end. How good is their helpdesk? If it's good, start talking to
them. If it's lousy, we'll rack our brains for other possible problems at
this end.


If you're not gatewaying through the remote IP address, or don't know what
gatewaying is, say so and someone here will probably have told you how to
fix it before I get back to my mail. :)
