Easily.

Then something else has to be wrong.

When you ping google.com, you may not get a ping reply, but it should resolve to an IP address in the job log.

It doesn't.

Here's the joblog from the V4R5 box, which is set for "remote first" priority:
  > /*      */
 3 > ping www.google.com
     Unknown host, WWW.GOOGLE.COM
 3>> dspjoblog

When I tried it on our V4R4 box (set for "local first" priority; it's also the one I re-IPLed after changing the DNS addresses to known-good ones), the job nearly took over the machine for several minutes, and had to be held to keep it from embarrassing us in front of a customer during a demo.

Something is definitely wonky. Is there some other DNS resolution protocol besides UDP on Port 53? Is there some other setting that would screw up DNS? Is there some setting in our Linksys router's firewall that would allow PCs to do DNS resolution, but not the 400s?
