$ grep -v '^#' /etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.actdsltmp
search domain.actdsltmp
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 205.171.2.65

$ grep -v '^#' /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
networks:       files
protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files
netgroup:       nis

I changed to a different ethernet card (eth1) and that has seemed to
help, though I cannot reach certain sites (timeouts).  I will comment
out "nameserver 192.168.0.1" and try eth2 again.
