Sean >>> I don't think I'm using static IP as such.  To explain: the 
router DHCP assigns addresses to the devices on the LAN;  but I do bind 
MACs to these IP addresses, to so that I can be sure which devices have 
which IPs.

You say your resolv.conf sets itself to the router.  I don't really 
understand why mine didn't, and - more particularly - how it decided 
which DNS to use instead.

Thanks for your thoughts.
