Hi all -
I admit that my understanding of networking problems is pretty limited.

I suspect the problem lies somehow in the nameserver lines of my resolv.conf file, having compared to several other postings? If this is an obvious fix, could someone tell me what jumps out at them? Thank you so much,
Taylor
