Are you saying with Wireshark you can decode this data all the way down to the point that you know it contains properly addressed DNS requests?

This is the summary when trying to connect using a hostname.  .103 is the IIGS  .101 is my actual DNS server, but I don't see any evidence that this reaches the LAN:

64505	2187.794859	192.168.60.103	192.168.1.101	DNS	85	Standard query A a2server.groupwhere.pri

This is an example when trying to telnet by ip address to the a2server host.  60.103 again is the IIGS.  60.1 is the ipddp0 ip address on the host:

303020	25906.889238	192.168.60.103	192.168.60.1	TCP	56	ams > telnet [SYN] Seq=0 Win=16384 Len=0

I would have expected this to NOT show up as TCP traffic as you suggested.
