Server:		203.8.183.1
Address:	203.8.183.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
96.171.101.59.in-addr.arpa	name = C-59-101-171-96.mel.connect.net.au.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
171.101.59.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = warrane.connect.com.au.
171.101.59.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = yarrina.connect.com.au.
yarrina.connect.com.au	internet address = 192.189.54.17
warrane.connect.com.au	internet address = 192.189.54.33

	I'm not at all sure what this output means.  The laptop in question is
connected to the internet over LAN to another box which has the dialup
serial modem.  This is the current local IP address
from /var/log/messages.
