I haven't had the time to get to this yet (story of my life 8(), however this sounds very much similar to the problem that Amancio tracked down with UDP emulation recently. As the DNS stuff that's at issue here also uses UDP, this 'feels' relevant. If you want to experiment with this, start replacing the "o*" UDP-related calls in the linuxulator with their non-"o*" counterparts (eg. orecvfrom -> recvfrom, etc.), as this was the fix in the above case. If you *do* achieve any results with this, *please* let me know, as I will eventually get to committing the relevant changes. mike
