Just like the subject line says... it can grab an IP from my ISP just fine, but it's brain dead when it comes to DNS addys? DHCP provides the DNS numbers to it, why doesn't it use them?

It's either that the ISP didn't put DNS addresses into their DHCP server or the Linksys isn't capable of accepting DNS numbers through DHCP. Do you know for a fact if the Linksys will accept DNS numbers through DHCP? It probably would since that's pretty standard practice, but you never know.
