    So I found myself without Internet access before leaving for work this
    morning and after work I still had none. Paradise technical assistance
    asked me to ping the DNS address: 203.96.152.4. What?! 203? I've been
    using 202.96.152.4 for four years, and was never told of any other. The
    tech guy wasn't familiar with the old address and as far as he's concerned
    it was and remains 203.96.152.4. I hate days like that.

    Tony.

    Umm.. 202.96.152.4 belongs to some company in China.. I think you must of
    mistyped/misread it in he past and now 202.96.152.4 doesn't work then your
    blaming Paradise :)

    I also presume you had a secondary DNS Server set as well??

    Thanks

    I wonder if the guy who was going on about running his own DNS server to
    speed things up had the same misconfiguration issue...

    So.... My notes say 203, too, which means I've had ~the~ most acute brain
    fart in all my life. I was absolutely sure it was 202, you know.

    After losing net access I didn't take note of the DNS values before trying
    the cable modem on a different ethernet connection, and when that plan
    failed, when back to the original connection but plugged in the wrong DNS
    values.

    Tony.

    It's been 203.96.152.4 since at least 1999 when I got a paradise.net
    cable modem from (then) Saturn.
