Thanks for the response, 9k.

I'm not sure it's a DNS problem as I can't ping the n900 by ip address from the XOOM. It looks like the N900 gets setup with both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address on the bnep0 interface, but the XOOM only ever gets an IPv6 address.

I'm not currently setup with IPv6 via gprs and don't know enough about the subject yet to know what my options are at this point to get everything talking. Spending my time just reading up at the moment while hoping someone can help direct me down the right path. There's a long thread about IPv6 and some links to bluetooth pan tethering on IPv6 that I'm hoping leads to an epiphany for me.
