Hi Peter

It looks to me as the DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf
are not working well...

Probably because the other boxes use diferent DNS servers. Try to use
the same DNS servers on the FreeBSD box.

I have FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE and I can resolve all of these without 
a problem.

Sometimes if there is a DNS problem (or change) win box can still resolv
old IP, because of the DNS cash... until you reboot the system.

To think that FreeBSD itself have something to do with this problem 
is ridiculous :-)
