[64studio-devel] quick network question DNS issue

yeah I tried that route quentin unfortunately I have a terrible ISP
that supplies thier customers with terrible gateway routers. and if
you try to even mention linux they cut you off to say "we only
recommend using windows with our systems, sign up for a 2 year
contract and we can get to a dell with xp on it." yeah like I want a
cheap 200 us dollar dell and have to put up with 2 more years of bad
service just because I have no other alternative LOL. ah hopefully
some other company will be putting up gateways in my area to bettter
service me.

but yeah I have followed the directions exactly as followed and was
told by my isp that yeah it was a bug that isn't working on that
model. I was hoping that maybe somewhere I could find the file in /etc
somewhere that would have the setting then maybe set it for read only
so it can't be changed. I do apreciate the advice though quentin
thanks for pointing me in that direction

as for anyone might have any ideas if my plan might work or not again
any input is greatly appreciated.
