[luau] Network questions

[Jaymes Schooler]

Don't forget to try accessing a known web site by its IP address.  If
you can access a web site by its IP address then dhcp, is not the issue.
I would assume your linksys product has some firewalling ability and may
be blocking outgoing dns requests from the inside of your
network...Usually this is not an issue but worth checking your linksys
configuration.

Are you assigning the computers ip addresses that are in the same class
as those being offered by your Linksys router?  If your are setting the
ip addresses manually, are you also setting the gateway to your Linksys
router?  If you have no route through your Linksys product, then you
cannot reach your DNS.

Try disabling dhcp on your router, and assign ip addys consistent with
the settings you choose on the router.
