So, since the error was that my gateway or nameserver couldn't be 
pinged, I went to my OS X box and did a ping on both.  No packet loss.  
Both were able to be pinged.
Am I missing something here?
Is this a FAQ that I should have read or is it some weird bug that I've 
stumbled across?

Thanks,
Jeff
