Chris - I think you are right there being more than one problem.
Problem 1. NetSurf*
NetSurf does not work until I have pressed the recycle button 3 times.
It does not matter how long it has been running before I do this.
*This is not browser specific. The same thing applies to whichever
browser I run first.
Problem 2. FTPc
If I recycle NetSurf, then run FTPc, FTPc is able to resolve
non-numeric ftp addresses.
If don't recycle NetSurf, FTPc is not able to resolve addresses.
(and subsequent recycling does not help)
Problem 3. Hermes - news, pop, smtp; and ping
This may be the same problem as problem 1, but the symptoms are
different in that Recycling NetSurf does not help.
Name resolution fails.
The above cases are all consistently reproducible.
The variability I mentioned is this: sometimes after I have been using
my other machine, the A9Home, for along time, and have accessed the
web and sent and received email, then DNS starts to work on the
Iyonix.

Chris: yes now that I have hard coded the numeric ip addresses into
the hosts file mail and news works consistently.
