Are you able to ping any IP address (say, Hathway's DNS) from your
zarus. I have a suspicion that this is a NATting issue. If you are
able to ping, then try tracerouting next. That may or may not work.
Only when you have established that you are able to connect to the
outside world from your Zarus should you think about it being a DNS
problem.
