Sorry, having a hard time understanding a word you're saying.  All I
know is when I pull a ipconfig /all from Windows I see info that looks
similar to what the resolv.conf shows.

The time host thing, assuming you mean do this at the command prompt,
is showing my internal IP and a IPv6 address starting with 2001:xxx
...

In Windows the url goes to some type of IANA site.

Re: IPv6 suggestions.  Thanks but google is showing other things
needed to 'cure' ipv6 (if that's the problem) for CentOS.  I don't
want to hose the system nor possess the knowledge to extricate myself.

Ah, slide 20.  Should of known!  :)

Fortunately the FF add-on seems to make surfing somewhat quicker.
