Someone suggested using google DNS server which I did (8.8.8.8) and
applications seem to resolve normally. for a couple years this Netopia
3347-02-1022 has worked well with several versions of CentOS 5 and several
versions of Ubuntu. For some reason there seems to be some
incompatability between RHEL 6 and the Netopia. May not be relevant but
rsynching a large file breaks the connection and I have to do a service
network restart to get it back.
