Except, no DNS calls would work.
Try a different name server, such as 4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.2, instead of
the one being supplied by DHCP.
Thanks, that's an easy to recall universal DNS.
4.2.2.1 thru 4.2.2.6 are Verizon's. Very stable. I use them quite
often, when Comcast's are foo'd.
If that solves the problem, then the issue is probably intermittant,
overloaded, or outdated (BIND software) DNS being run by the hospital
or their ISP.
Try putting the name server addresses in multiple times. That way if
a request times-out, it gets repeated. This is one of the
fundamental diffs between the DNR used by Apple and the one
implemented by MS. The MS one uses extremely long timeouts and
repeats requests for the hell of it. The Apple DNR is more to RFC
specs, which makes it less resiliant from an end-user POV.
