Not sure.  All I know about DNS settings is what I see in 
/etc/resolv.conf   and on the mandrake machine it looks like this:

search workgroup.living cowtown.net
domain workgroup.living
nameserver 209.144.6.2
nameserver 209.144.6.120

and on this one it looks like this:

search workgroup.office cowtown.net
domain workgroup.office
nameserver 209.144.6.2
nameserver 209.144.6.120

What else should I look at to see if it's a DNS issue?
