Hi Steve,

After much debugging, I have found a solution (although I'm not happy with
it). On the client, if I configure my ISP's DNS servers on the private
network then I have no problem. I don't like this because if my ISP changes
their servers, I won't know about it and am more prone to name resolution
failures. It is puzzling why the automatic configuration doesn't work (this
had my host computer's private network address 192.168.0.1 as the DNS
server). I guess I will run this way unless someone can point me to a
better solution.

Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.
