I'm having trouble getting the domain name server to work in MacTCP
1.0.1 on a MacIIcx.  As long as I know the IP address I can Telnet via
NCSA Telnet for MacTCP everywhere in the world I have tried.  I can even
ping the Mac from computers in California.  However I can not get the
nameserver to work.  I've monitored the network traffic coming from the
MacIIcx and the FastPath 4 gateway and no nameserver patches (port 53)
are being sent.  I have tried a variety of setups either adding the
local and/or root nameservers into the domain server fields with TCP Admin
and/or adding the file Hosts to the System Folder.  In the past I've
successfully setup client nameservers under SunOS and VMS with no
problem, so I thought I knew what I was doing.

Configuration: MacIIcx running system 6.0.5, MacTCP 1.0.1, FastPath 4
with K-STAR 7.0, Mac is on PhoneNet, PhoneNet side of FastPath is
different subnet than the ethernet side.  INITs and CDEVs: Eradicat'm,
SUM Partition, SUM Shield, SuperClock!, CD Remote, Warning, Moire,
Vaccine, ADSP, FlashIt.  The FastPath K-STAR configuration also knows
the IP address of our domains nameserver which is across a couple cisco
bridges from the FastPath.  Using the NCSA Telnet with UDP complete
hostnames are resolved.

Any suggestions?
