Here's what I get on OI:

    <mills at qtpie:1784>$ host login.yahoo.com
    login.yahoo.com is an alias for ds-ats.member.g02.yahoodns.net.
    ds-ats.member.g02.yahoodns.net has address 67.195.204.151
    ds-ats.member.g02.yahoodns.net has address 98.137.156.136
    ds-ats.member.g02.yahoodns.net has IPv6 address 2001:4998:58:304::2000
    ds-ats.member.g02.yahoodns.net has IPv6 address 2001:4998:44:3304::2000

Do you get that?  The login server does not exist.  The DNS server
does exist, but has several IP addresses.

On OI, some ethernet devices do not have a driver.  That may be your
problem with the Linksys N600.
