Uhm, hey, old stoner!  

Is there any chance you could upgrade?  4.2 Rocked, but we're pushing 7.0, 
now.

Check out /etc/resolve.conf

Make sure that it references a valid upstream dns server.  Check out "man 
resolv.conf" to finger out what it does.  It did the same in 4.2.

What happens when you do a "nslookup oldpathsbaptistchurch.org"  from 
a "shell"?  Does it tell you anything about "15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, 
PMB 353" in Arizona?  

I learned on 4.2, so I think I can help you.  And please forgive me if I keep 
saying "upgrade." But ...

upgrade.

I can show you how.

Love and kisses!
