It definitely sounds like DNS is fine, but it could be the  
configuration settings within the Tracker Client itself. Specifically,  
the tracker server you are trying to connect to may not be online  
anymore. Or, your ISP or firewall is blocking the default tracker port  
(3680).

Also, make sure you're not including http:// or the port number as  
part of the tracker server address.

Here's a link to screenshot of the settings I'm using for my Tracker  
Client right now. Keep in mind that my Newton has a static IP address  
and is connected directly to the internet, outside of my router.
