Something interesting came up. I thought I had plugged the media
switch into my WAN router, but no, I had plugged it into my WAP
router which is plugged into the WAN router in exactly the same
way as the LAN router... and the media devices work fine. So the
setup should work. If I hadn't already swapped out the LAN 54G
version 6 with an exact duplicate router I would think something was
wrong with the router. In fact I started out by swapping out the
cable, removing the switch entirely and just plugging the TV into the
LAN router and then finally replacing the router. Then I plugged the
media switch into the WAN and it worked fine, but after
troubleshooting I thought I plugged it back into the the WAN but I
had plugged it into the WAP..regular port. This just doesn't make any sense.

Gaffer was talking about a destination IP not the gateway, IP, & DNS

then that would fit the test Gaffer means (I think).

which is DNS failing.
Actually, they all three allow me to input all the numbers manually.

Try making a request directly, say "64.233.169.93" and see what it

By this, if you mean manually inputting the DNS numbers then I did do
that on the TV but it didn't help

What I was trying to find out was whether the machine could resolve an
address without using DNS.
