Weird DNS behaviour

[Edgars Šmits]

Thanks for the advice, I'll check into your suggestions later today.
Right now I'm doing a clean install of Gutsy on my daughters laptop -
using the LiveCD, and the problem still persists, so we know it's
nothing to do with my laptop's Ubuntu DNS/TCPIP etc settings. I'll
take this laptop to another location Saturday, see if the problem
happens there as well.

Very weird indeed...
