thanks for the response. what "times" would i ensure are in sync? i
thought that phones these days managed their own times.
also, i'm really confused about why this would affect only DNS
requests made by broadcast receivers. wouldn't a timing issue affect
all DNS requests? unless... the UI libraries do some fixups [fx: barf]
i wonder whether this has anything to do with the Android kernel
being 18 months out of date (IIRC) and the DST change coming in only
*last* year.
baffled of SF!
Check that times are sync'd - I've seen some issues before where
out-of-sync clocks caused DNS errors.

hey all,
something weird just started happening. my app has a broadcast
receiver which may access the network when invoked. the code has
been solid for ages, but in the last few days it has started getting
DNS errors on perfectly fine hosts. these are hosts which can be
reached without problems in the main app or from other apps.
interestingly i've seen another app get DNS errors too -- another
app with a broadcast receiver.
seems to affect all OS versions -- we have 1.5, 1.6, and 2.01 here.
i don't have a Nexus to test 2.1, though.
are there caveats to doing network inside broadcast receivers? i
didn't think so, as ours worked fine until.... the time change [fx:
twilight zone theme]
thanks for any guidance with this one!
