I thought the point of DHCP was that it takes little setting up :-)

I use DHCP without any problems and my Iyonix has
Inet$ResolverDelay : 5
Inet$ResolverRetries : 3
Inet$Resolvers : 10.0.0.2
Inet$RouteDOptions :

The 10.0.0.2 appears to be set in the Host names window under Internet 
configuration in !Boot.  I see I also have the "Try name server too" 
option ticked.;  "Name resolver module" is set to "Resolver (Acorn)"
