That makes sense. I don't know the why of it but it might have to do with 
the fact that this office is directly connected to gps.co.jp. One LAN 
(192.168.200.x) is ISDN *and* (somehow) gps.co.jp is also on that LAN. 
192.168.200.1 might be the LAN address of the nameserver ... let me check 
... don't know. I can telnet to it but not on port 53 (the DNS port).

How can I check if 192.168.200.1 is a DNS server or not. Let me think ... I 
did

$dig @example.com www.hotmail.com

and got back DNS info. Does that mean it is a nameserver?

You are a fountain of information as always Jonathan!
