First I want to apologize for the barrage of questions - I normally read as much as I can before posting, and in this case I have, but Googling TorDNS does not bring much in the way of results... That being said I want to ask questions in an intelligent way even though some of them may seem elementary (probably are to most of you).
So I downloaded the TorDNS localhost version. That magically worked :) I'd still like to find out which files I need to edit to get the other version working. In the meantime - here's one more: I have ZoneAlarm installed. I have noticed that TorDNS gets ZoneAlarm to popup to tell me TorDNS is trying to access the net with the following IP addresses: 127.0.0.1:9050 (the Tor app) 127.1.2.2:4237 127.1.2.2:1027 I wonder why it tries to connect to two separate ports for Tor. Also, since I have disabled the DNS Client service and have changed the DNS Server to 127.1.2.2 I can no longer ping machines on my LAN. Is there a workaround for this?
