OK - I don't know enough about internet routing to know, but I was told it was 
weird.

My /etc/resolv.conf is set up exactly the same in Slack as it is in SuSE.

I have another machine set up with SuSE, so I was able to test them 
simultaneously - no problem with the other machine, either - pages loaded 
without incident and refresh brought up a current page.  

I'm baffled - is there anything that Slackware sets up by default that would 
filter particular websites?  Anything that I should look for?
