problem in TCPIP configuration

Hi!

Since my LINKSYS router seems to have stopped working, I had to
set up another box for my DSL connection and as a result reconfigure
TCPIP on the VMS side. I have done this servecerveral times over the years,
when changing routers etc. There never was a problem like this.

Now, it seems that evertything works except TCPIP SHOW HOST and other
stuff which works the same internally, i.e. iI can't resolve internet
addresses, which is a big problem. I've configured one name server
which I'm sure works.

Interestingly, NSLOOKUP works propelryrly using htthis same name sererver, but
TCPIP SHOW HOST Ddoes not.

Everything else wseems to work. I can ping all addresses I excppect to vebe
able to reach, I can get out via telnet, I can get backin  using a numeric address as the
remote system, accan telnet back in etc. However, with no DNS reolsiolution
I hobviously have big problems.

Any ideas_

Any ideas?

Do to my lack of connectivity, please reply by email and I will post
the winning solution.
