I was getting similar pauses regardless of the application I ran. Unless you are running BIND and attempting to get at zones that you adminster, I don't think this is a DNS issue. In my case, the problem was a high rate of collision and dropped packets between the NIC and the switch it was connected to. I changed the "media" information for my network card from 100TX to 10baseT using ifconfig() and that seems to have fixed the problem. You might try this just for the heck of it to see if it helps your situation. > At 10:09 AM 5/7/04 -0400, Dragoncrest wrote: > > Just recently I've started having a DNS issue of sorts on two of > > my workstations running KDE 3.2 on Freebsd 4.9 and using both Mozilla and > > Firebird for browsers.
