There is a bug with Win 95, that if you have Network Neighborhood on
your desktop (Doesn't matter if you actually have a LAN or not), that
sometimes your DNS searches will use the wrong DNS settings. As you
can set up DNS under DUN, but you can also set them up for a NIC.
Sorry I am rambling not making to much sense. Basically check the
network control panel for some sort of TCP/IP bound to the local NIC.
If it is there, change the DNS settings for the NIC to match the DNS
for DUN.
