Thanks Jim for the input. Actually, the solution came from the network
admins...I had been told that ANY IP from within the network could
access the DNS. However, when I tried the IP of my desktop machine,
the TS-board was able to access the DNS. I got a new IP for the board,
apparently in the range that the DNS accepts (which yesterday they
said was ANY IP), and everythign works fine now.
Thanks again.
