you have BOTH networking AND DNS problems, you just haven't gotten to
your DNS problems yet.


[mhw at romulus ~]$ dig @208.65.88.107 -t soa pcartwright.com

; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P2-RedHat-9.6.1-7.P2.fc11 <<>> @208.65.88.107 -t soa
pcartwright.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
