I dunno. I'm really ignorant about this stuff. I just have a box connected to
the internet by a Quest Actiontec DSL modem. According to tech support at
FastQ, the modem is using the wrong nameserver, or pointing to the wrong
nameserver, or something along those lines. He had me change the nameservers
in /etc/resolv.conf and everything worked great after that. But I think the
DSL modem is causing it to revert back to the old nameserver.
