DNS not serving

We are on the beach in Mexico. I am trying to use a network that I used last month, but I am having difficulty.

I can connect to the network. It gives me an IP address and a DNS server, but I am getting no name resolution. I can ping the DNS server, and I can ping sites by IP address. I cannot ping (or otherwise reach) any sites by name. For example, I can ping 17.112.152.32 but I cannot ping

I have cleared the DNS cache, turned off the DNS client service, and rebooted.

When I enter the default gateway (192.168.102.1) in my browser, it brings up a Motorola Terminal Adapter, rather than a router.

If I drive in to town, I have no trouble using any old unsecured network I find.

Anybody have any ideas? Since I can't connect to the Internet except by driving in to town to post messages, I am limited in the online research I can do.

Thanks.
