Curt,
That makes sense, and fits the symptoms, but it's not so simple. Look
at what I got about 21:15 EST right after a rejection.
[root@hulk wde]# host 24.229.47.143
143.47.229.24.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer
dhcp-47seg-1-9-5.msns.sm.ptd.net
[root@hulk wde]# host dhcp-47seg-1-9-5.msns.sm.ptd.net
dhcp-47seg-1-9-5.msns.sm.ptd.net has address 24.229.47.143
I also tried dig, and got the same authoritative answers both ways.
They list 8 servers for the msns.sm.ptd.net domain. any chance you could
see what your local system resolves for each? I have no way to "look
back" from your position to see what is messed up.

Computers, like air conditioners, work poorly with Windows open.
