Thanks for the assistance!
It turned out that it WAS the DNS that my local connection defaults to, and once I got access to another that had the full routing tables, no more problems.
I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time, but that may just have been my distro being slow to switch to using the DNS that I'd put in, instead of the one that was setup with DHCP.
Thanks again, and thanks for hosting so many great artists here!
