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.
