Sorry if I come back with that again, but that would most likely mean that
you didn't fill something in your internet setup. I'm also a bit confused by
what you mean when you say that you "found a box in nethopper that
automatically sends you to the default set up. by unchecking that, nethopper
sent me to the correct set up, and it dialed up and made a connection."

Are you talking about the connection slip? If so, usually, you would pick a
worksite for which you would have set an internet setup. So, if you're at
work, you would obviously have a different internet setup than if you're
home.

If there are no response from the DNS server, then that's because at the
address you're entered, there was, indeed, no response from the DNS server.
If the Newton tells you that there is a problem with "A", then there is no
need to search for "B", as the problem is with "A".

So, there is something missing in your internet setup. Make sure that the
internet setup that is set when you're trying to use NetHopper is really the
one you think...
