I have a linksys router between the computer and the modem.
There is an ethernet cable from the computer to the router.
I also have a laptop thru wireless.

Check. Did that

check all that.

The DNS tab has two boxes, both totally empty. Cox isn't
listed anywhere. Here is what is on the DNS tab;
1st item: Append primary and connection specific DNS
suffixes. This has a dot in the circle.
2nd item: Append parent suffixies of the primary DNS suffix.
This has a check in the little box.
3re item: Register this connection's address in DNS. This
has a check in the little box.

Check. I started the service and now the repair function
completes with no error message.
Comments: The printout from ipconfig /all remains
unchanged; it still has pn.at.cox.net as before.
Also my upload speed is quite low - less than 3000, it was
normally about double that before I started getting bumped
off the internet connection.
I'll wait for your answer before I do anything else. I
haven't called bellsouth tech support yet.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
