There are multiple FidoNet-related timed events normally:
FIDOIN
FIDOOUT
BINKOUT
BINKPOLL

Which one of those are you "forcing"?

If DNS were the issue, you'd still see a connection attempt logged.

One test would be to just run 'jsexec binkit -p' from a command-line and see what you see. It should try to poll your uplink with that command (same as the BINKPOLL timed event, when it runs).
