This error message seems strange to me, I don't see what DNS and tcp
network stuff has to do with DVD burning? (is your Toast program or
some other program "phoning home" perhaps? Little Snitch can help
phone home instances). When I Googled "failed: Bad Instance Name
(-65540)" I see someone having a problem with a HD, so it doesn't
appear to be specific to the optical drive unit, but rather perhaps a
bus issue? I didn't see a solution, but you might try a Safe Boot and
see what happens when no 3rd-party extensions are loaded (you may not
be able to use Toast, but Disk Utility or other Apple apps should burn
DVDs still).
Also, the Safe Boot will clear the cache files, so IF it works in Safe
Boot mode, there's a chance it MAY also work in a normal boot when you
restart. If if DOES work in Safe Boot, but DOESN'T work in normal
boot, THEN you've got a software problem with some non-Apple software
extension. If it DOESN'T work in Safe Boot, you could have a System
software issue, which MAY be solved by reinstalling the latest COMBO
update. If that fails, the optical drive MAY be bad, although you
could possibly try a different jumper setting or attaching to a
different bus to see?
