RE: Is DNS running on their 400?

["Sean Porterfield" <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You've already gotten many good answers to this, but I wanted to add that
NETSTAT *CNN will show DNS listening on port 53 if it's active.  And as was
already said, STRTCPSVR *DNS will start it.

I would check with their network admin to see what the DNS server is
supposed to be.  Maybe it was changed and the 400 wasn't running DNS.
