No, but we appear to have some sort of domain name 
resolution problem.

I can ping to the IP addresses that both Google and my ISP 
resolve to, but I can't ping either one by name.

I checked the DNS addresses, and they didn't match the DNS 
adddresses set in this WinDoze box (though they must have 
been good at some time in the past). I changed the DNS 
addresses to match this PC, but have not yet restarted 
TCP; do I need to do this for a DNS address change to take 
effect?

Are there other settings that need to be in effect in 
order for a DNS search to work?

I may be doing a full re-IPL shortly on one of the boxes 
to test that last question myself.
