Comcast is connecting only intermittently for me today. Anybody know if it is the remains of the problem from a few days ago, or a new one?

Typo: Yes. By which I mean, they probably say that it's a new problem, but I work for a broadband ISP, and, well . . . . Basically, the routing servers have gone on strike. You're only able to get to scab sites.
Like this one.

It looks like the problem has resurfaced. I just changed over my DNS servers again, and it's much better.

What did you put in for the DNS servers?

I used 204.127.202.19 and 216.148.227.204, which I spotted on a post on the Comcast boards. I think they belong to ATT.

hey- I've been getting splitting headaches which intensify when I'm using my work computer, which is a Mac. I'm running version 10.2.8, and it looks like the refresh rate is, uh, hidden. Well, it's somewhere where I can't find it. It's not in my "Displays" section of System Preferences, which is where the resolution rate and the brightness level control live.
Do any Mac gurus know where I can check on my refresh rate for my monitor?

Hey. New board.
Huh. That's weird. The refresh rate is right next to the resolution in the Displays section of System prefs on 10.3, and it looks (based on Apple's support site) that it should be in the same place in Jaguar. Is this computer a laptop? (the fact that you have a brightness control leads me to suspect it might be, or maybe an Aple display...) If it is, is the problem with the built-in LCD or an external monitor?

Hey. New board.
Apple CRT or LCD? If it's an LCD, then I doubt the refresh rate is your problem. My knowledge of display technology is fairly limited, but I think that LCD monitors have a native refresh rate, just like they have a native resolution, and it's usually quite high. Plus, since LCDs don't use scanlines at all, you don't get a flicker effect (the main cause of headaches) even with early LCDs that had super-low refresh rates.
If it's a CRT... well, then, I'm very surprised it's not in the "Displays" panel. That's definitely where it is on my machine but, like I said, I'm running a newer version of the OS.
ETA: And now I have to go. Hopefully somebody else will be around soon to help you through the rest of your troubleshooting.

I'm embarassed to say I don't know the answer to this, or how to find it out.
