Until you finish the DNS install and either add a DNS forwarder or use root
hints, your ping won't resolve trainsignal.com

Have you rebooted yet?

[snipped]

KJ,

Tony multi-posted, not cross-posted this, to this group, DNS, and not sure
where else. I sugggested to use nslookup to verify DNS resolution was
working.

Tony, in the future, please use cross-posting. It allows you to post to
multiple groups simulataneously and any responses to any one group, will be
sent simultaneously to all groups that it was cross-posted in. It saves you
time to search for responses, as well allowing us to collaborate to help
more efficiently so we can see all the response, without having to double up
or repeat our efforts.
