It confirms what I found earlier on msft site -- msft recommend 
turning off the client DNS service when operating with non-msft 
DNS.  The service is on by default...  Client DHCP good for msft 
boxen, DNS service bad, unless you run msft domain controller.

Just for the record...

Today I've reinstalled my firewall box onto a smaller hard drive, 
copied over some of my old startup, firewall and dnsmasq setups 
and this is me back on the 'net:  slackware-current, 10.1 beta.

Such a pleasant change from chasing msft fixes.

Cheers,
Grant.
