DNS Problems

[Matt Alexander]

Try changing the nameserver entries to different DNS servers, such as:

nameserver 12.127.16.68
nameserver 12.127.17.72

That should solve your problem.  Then give Qwest a nasty phone call and
tell them to fix their name servers and to also close some of those extra
ports as well.  Sheesh.  Both of their servers are completely unresponsive
to me when doing lookups.
