This part of your earlier message now applies. Adding the university's 
DNS server addresses here as forwarders resolves the problem. I didn't 
think this should be necessary though-- especially since DNS for 
external addresses was working when I had the local DNS switched off. 
What do you think?

Thanks and regards,
