Contacted my ISP, and they shunned me saying that this was a Microsoft issue,
not their issue :| So, I could pay $139 bux for a 6-month or so subscription
to Support+ or a one-time $99 fee [ATT/SBC]... All this just fix a simple DNS
issue...
I can do nslookup on
www.google.com and reverse lookup on my i.p. address,
so I don't understand what the DNS issue is with activation. The only thing I
noticed, that might be an issue, is that I don't get an "authoritative
answer".
The only other option would be to bring the box to work to activate it.
Also, can anyone tell me why I can't select a country in the drop-down box
for call-activation?
Thanks!
