I had a very similar problem... the 1 minute hang, prior to returning results... except that my issue did work on the Internet... with a 60 second hang, before returning results. I figured out that DSL modem/router was not returning the best possible DNS info... like it was hanging for a minute, then going to an alternate, successful DNS server. I fixed the problem by adding to /etc/dhclient.conf ... at the bottom of the file... supersede domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; ...with my actual domain nameserver, in place of the x's. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/
