This looks to be a UCSD.EDU problem. I now have the same problem with my
desktop computer as on my laptop. This did not used to be a problem. Maybe
UCSSD has changed something that makes it more difficult when using dial
up.

Is there some way to set up Injoy and the Resolv files to check this out?

I have decimal addresses for the following categories:

Local IP address
Peer IP address
DNS (primary)
DNS (backup)

I don't know what the difference is for each of these addresses. Injoy has
a place for nameserver address and backup nameserver, which I have filled
in.

Would editing the various Resolv and Resolv2 files be worth trying?

Thanks,
Sandy
