Both the eCS and the Win computer use 10.20.30.1 as the DNS, i.e., the
Netgear router, which is also the default gateway. Trace route on both
machines take me to first the Netgear router, than the Westell modem,
after that the OS/2 application returns only '*' for each hop and
eventually ends at 30 hops. The Win machine needs 11 hops to get to
salesforce.com.
