Ok, Ok, I'll try, but I am long winded. (worded? ;-))

The LAN is running now for almost two days. I disabled NIS doing
DNS lookups. I also found that I had left a localhost alias in /etc/hosts
(stupid). When I get brave I'll try the DNS again, but this time I'll
set up the full DNS catastrophy.

Anyway thanks for the feedback.
