Did you have problems connecting with your old os?
I have had trougle like what you are describing, and only got away from it by switching ISP's. They had been bought by the local power company, switched to MS servers, and went right down the toilet. Their foul-ups, disconnects, and failed attempts happened regardless of os. Their DNS really shouldn't discriminate, but they may have some funky arrangement.

Modem usr5610b, works perfectly with slackware 10.2


After much frustration I finally made ppp connect.
What I did was remove the cables from a non-functioning cd reader and insert cables into a good cd reader/writer. (!???)

I hate such mysteries.

My local ISP works fine under windows but it does not serve DNS very well when I use linux (which is all the time now).  To get around this I use a public DNS server for my freesco router.  Try using the following DNS information:

Primary 205.166.266.38
Secondary 69.67.108.10

These are public DNS servers.  You can read up about them at www.granitecanyon.com.
