That is correct. The most action required may be refreshing a DHCP
lease after connecting.<br>

simple answer to give for whatever may have gone wrong here.
You need to understand IP networking if you're trying to
troubleshoot networking problems. It sounds like the RF side
of things worked well at least.<br>
<br>
Did the modem DHCP an IP successfully? Is your modem bridging
or NAT-routing the phone? Was a default route setup and
reachable? What was traceroute saying? etc...<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone can recommend some basic networking tutorials
for hams here.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I have
been connected to Gold Mountain from my house for about a
year, and I have okay coverage. I have a Dynadish 5, which
has five built-in LEDs to indicate connection strength. At
home, I get one or two LEDs to light up, and I’m able to
make calls over Hamwan with a VOIP phone.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Today, I
took my Dynadish portable, and set it up with good line of
site to Paine, Westin, and Beacon. I had all five LEDs lit
up when I aimed at Beacon. I had hoped to be able to plug
in my VOIP phone and make a test call, but the phone got
stuck at “Initializing DNS,” regardless of which site I
tried.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Took it
all back home, set it up the same way on my roof, and was

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My
assumption is that I need to re-initialize the Dynadish 5
when I change connection sites. Is this correct? If so, is
there an easy way to switch over from one to another, or
do I need to open up Winbox and follow the instructions in
the “Connect” phase of Client Node Configuration? Or do I
need to do something else? I’d like to be able to move
