Jonathan, Do you have 'rip trigger' enabled? Chances are that your DNS server doesn't know how to go back to the client so your client never gets a response in time. After 30 seconds, RIP will propagate the routes normally and your DNS server will know how to get back. (OSPF updates the routing table essentially immediately, which explains why your TNT using OSPF works fine). -J >This is the scenario: > >- User launches browser (IE), which tries to load home page and > initiates Networking dialup (automatic dial via analog modem, tested > 33k and 56k). >- The modem dials in, user is authenticated and connects. > >Then (after around 15 seconds), IE prints that useful page that >tells 'couldnt connect to host or DNS error'.
