"Are you using the same ethernet lead and port on your router when using the
T400 as you do when connecting with the Mac."
First, I remove the ethernet cable from the Mac, and then I connect it to the
T400, if that makes sense. So, my Mac and T400 are never connected to the
internet at the same time.
"If it was possible for you to try connecting using wifi and your connection
was OK then it would suggest thet the problem was the ethernet port."
I cannot, at the moment.
"Another option would be to try connecting with the ethernet port using a
friends internet connection on their router."
What if I connected the T400 directly to the modem? Would that be of any use?

So, I tried the first command to test my current settings, and my query time
was 107 msec.
When I tested my primary DNS server address with the second command, I got
102 msec.
What can be concluded from that? By the way, I also tried 8.8.8.8 with the
second command, and it was slightly faster, though connecting to the web was
equally slow as with my original DNS servers.
