Something is definitely wonky. Is there some other DNS

TCP can be used also.

Is there some other setting that would screw up DNS?

Your default route could be wrong.

Is there some setting in our Linksys router's firewall that would allow
PCs to do DNS resolution, but not the 400s?

Use NSLOOKUP on OS/400 to verify the DNS behaviour.

Type NSLOOKUP on command line. Press Enter.
Type Help, press Enter.
Read.

Something like:

NSLOOKUP<enter>
www.google.com<enter>

should show something like:
 > www.google.com
   Server:  gryphon.flybynight.com.au
   Address:  192.168.0.1

   Nonauthoritative answer:
   Name:    www.l.google.com
   Addresses:  66.102.7.104, 66.102.7.147, 66.102.7.99
   Aliases:  www.google.com

or give you hopefully helpful error messages. NOTE: Your DNS server name and IP address will be different from mine but the answer should be the same.

Simon Coulter.
