MOL networking on TiBook with YDL 4

[John M. Wright]

I've been happily using MOL under YDL 3.01 on a late (1 GHz)
TiBook ever since 3.01 was released.  Recently I've installed
YDL 4 (in a separate partition, so I can boot into either 4
or 3.01).  The installation of YDL 4 went reasonably well
(much better than that of 3.0, though not quite as smoothly
as 3.01) and most things are working well now.  An exception
is MOL - it runs OK, but I cannot get _networking_ to work
properly.  I am using the tun interface with DHCP.  DHCP
assigns MOL an IP address OK, but there is no name service.
I can ping any IP address that I've tried, but name lookup
is totally non-functional.  On the MacOS X side, eg, under
YDL 3.01, if I use nslookup (either via command line from
a terminal, or from the Network Utility panel) I can look
up any domain name that I've tried so far.  Under YDL 4,
if I invoke nslookup, I get "Can't find server name for
address x.y.z.1: no response from server", where x.y.z.1
is the server provided by my RoadRunner ISP.

I haven't found anything in the YDL or MOL archives, or by
Googling, that seems to bear on this.  I'd be grateful for
any ideas or suggestions.
