The problem shows up exactly the same way when the firewall is off (that
is where the default policies are ACCEPT for Input, Forward, and
Output).

/etc/host.conf seems to work fine. I do not have a local DNS server; the
ISP's servers seem to be working (other machines on my local network can
use http without difficulty).
