6 Is the sarge system pointed at the same router for default route?

8 Show first line of /etc/hosts

10 Show Sarge system /etc/resolv.conf and first line of /etc/hosts

12 Surely your router has a `status' screen. It should show you current
13 IP and DNS servers.

15 Otherwise hit this page

17 to learn your outer IP address

21 Sorry I can't remember which tool or arguments do this but it is
22 possible to lookup a domain name and be shown the nameservers that
23 serve that domain. Not sure if its nslookup, dig, whois or something
24 else but maybe some kind soul will post the command and arguments that
25 will retrieve that info.

27 Once you've ascertained that actual outer nameserver. Put that in
28 /etc/resolv.conf and see if it makes a difference.
