ifconfig details will come from my memory as the computer in question is
at home.  There is a static IP address, default gateway and two DNS
server addresses. The error occurs if I leave the DNS numbers in the
config or remove them it makes no difference.  I got the numbers
from the network config in windows xp which the tech from the ISP set

connects to a outside yagi antenna operating in the 900 mhz frequency
range.  www.waverider.com makes the modem.
