Verizon DSL and Linksys router problem

[hazmat]

I am trying to set up Verizon DSL on someone's Mac. It works fine under OS 9 with the Verizon software, but I am having a problem in OS X 10.1. I am going through a Linksys BEFSR11. I set OS X to DHCP, and it seems to connect fine to the router and get its info. It will connect to Verizon DSL, but I get no DNS. I can connect to IPs only. Anyone know why this might be?

Thanks.

are you entering all the info manually or just giving it a minimal nudge in the right direction?

I seem to remember having this problem when i first added my router but i can't remember how to fix it right off. so i'm asking a question about something i know effected something i had connection problems with at some point.

sorry that this is the best i can do at the moment hazmat

I entered it all manually. No problems with my SMC under 10.1.2, since 10.1. Verizon seems to have you enter IPs for everything. IIRC, the DNS server is actually 192.168.21.2. Very odd, huh? It does work with the MacPoet software under OS 9, though.

try entering the least amount of info needed and let it search for particulars. i know i had some kind of problem when i gave it too much precise info in my network pref location settings. don't forget that verizon will not give you the real details of something that isn't their product (at least if they are anything like pachell) so once they want you to pay extra, not double up on a connection. I ended up calling SMC at a certain point and they had me rocking in less than 20 mins.

i also remember having to make a new location in network prefs. the internet configuration deal didn't place the info in the right place to use with a router. I created a location called 'router', chose show: built in ethernet and using tcp/ip and chose configure using DHCP and filled in pachell.net under search domains. (run on sentence, hope you followed)

and i always get a variation of that 192.xxxx as my dns so that is normal behind the router i think.
