Alex, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion, the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf match the ones the router knows. Yet when I try pinging them, the response is: "connect: Network is unreachable". Same happens when I try pinging my router. nslookup seems to be an "unknown command" in this twighlight zone of the Post-Boot Base Configuration.
