Wow...stupid XP firewall. I thought I had it turned off. I can now ping and traceroute to the XP client.

You know, it annoys the hell out of me that people disable ICMP, since the RFC explicitly says not to. I guess I can understand why they do disable it, but it's super annoying and doesn't really add any security. But anyway...

Ok so I figured it out as I was writing this reply about how it didn't work...here's how I fixed it.

#touch /etc/resolv.conf
#echo nameserver 4.2.2.3 > /etc/resolv.conf
# cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

Thanks guys!
