I have two machines sitting behind a wireless router, both using dhcpcd
under gentoo.

After running dhcpcd on both machines, they both get ip's, etc. Both have
the same nameserver set in /etc/resolv.conf
The output of "route -n" is identical.

From the laptop, I can ping the router and the other machine on the network,
and vice versa.

On the desktop, everything works fine (e.g., domain name resolution with
ping, browsing, etc.)

On the laptop, "ping www.google.com"  just hangs.

If I change the laptop's resolv.conf file (not sure what the implications of
this are...?) to use my router as the nameserver, I can then resolve
www.google.com and
ping it.  But if I try to do anything more than that, e.g., "lynx
www.google.com", it just hangs.

If you can push me in the right direction, I will be very (very)
appreciative.

almost insane,
Scott
