MOL networking on TiBook with YDL 4

[John M. Wright]

I've been happily using 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 nameserver
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.
