Alternative DNS Settings No Longer Working, Why?

[phunzoid]

I've been using the alternative DNS settings "trick" for a couple of months now with no problem….i had created an additional cellular connection named "Sprint 2" with the new DNS settings...today though i-net wasn't working….the Mogul would dial #777, PIE would show connecting, then locating, but it would never load a web page

so I switched back to Sprint's original DNS seetings, under a connection still named "Sprint PCS", and i-net worked fine again

I looked at the settings for my "Sprint 2" connection, and noticed it had a password saved…I deleted the password, tried connecting again, but still no go….i checked setttings again, and a password was there again

my working "Sprint PCS" connection has no password saved

why would a password be saved in my "Sprint 2" connection?....could this be causing my problem?
