James -

Sorry to backtrack, but can you verify that the domain name servers from
CFGTCP:

Domain name server:
   Internet address . . . . . . .   '151.164.1.8'
                                    '206.13.28.12'

Match the domain name servers from a "good" PC.

Ipconfig /all
DNS servers . . . . . . . . . . . : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                                    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  

Then try changing the Host name search priority to *REMOTE

I've entered the DNS addresses used by PCs that have no trouble pinging
both GOOGLE and my ISP by name, on both our main 400s, and did a full
IPL of one of them. And I still can't ping them by name from the 400 I
just Re-IPLed, although I can ping GOOGLE by the IP address that a ping
from this PC just returned.

Given known-good DNS addresses, why would I fail to get a DNS
resolution?

This is what CFGTCP option 12 (CHGTCPDMN) shows:
. . .
Host name search priority  . . .   *LOCAL
Domain name server:
   Internet address . . . . . . .   '151.164.1.8'
                                    '206.13.28.12'
                            Additional Parameters
Port . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   53
Protocol . . . . . . . . . . . .   *UDP
Domain name server retry:
   Number of retries  . . . . . .   2
   Time interval  . . . . . . . .   2
