Thank you for your ideas, and I'll return to this thread when I have
any kind of information.

Ok, keep us informed. I feel curious about what's going on here :-)


Just a note about an observation. Just for grins -- even though name
resolution was working fine -- I checked the contents of
/etc/resolv.conf. They are listed below:

----------------------------8<----------------------------
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by
resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search wp.comcast.net
----------------------------8<----------------------------

This is with the system connected at a location that does use Comcast as
its ISP. But the contents of this file are not at all what I'd expect. I
tried adding

dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

to /etc/network/interfaces. Rebooting made no difference in the contents
of /etc/resolv.conf. Is that because something weird is going on, or
because the changes in netscript that happened at the time of the update
have changed the way resolvconf works? I suspect the latter due to other
information available.

If you are using the "resolvconf" package I bet you have to trust what
the "/etc/revolv.conf" file warning says in uppercase about do not
editing the file because is dynamically changed ;-)

OTOH, I never used this package before, I don't know what's for nor how
is configured so I can't give you any feedback on this other than reading
the available docs and man pages :-)
