Sigh...  Ok it *was* working perfectly.  I went to download the current 
config, and THAT apparently broke it.  I can't ping anything now, but one 
minute before, it all worked flawlessly.  In fact, I can still see the 
successful ping results in my DOS prompt window right above my failed 
attempts.  I hadn't downloaded the config until this moment so it worked all 
the way up until then.  I'll try reloading the current config....  Are there 
any known bugs with the "download feature"??
