I've been having the same problem when using AlienBBC since I upgraded to slimserver 6.5.0. This is also on a Mac running OS X 10.4. When booting or waking from sleep, it takes several seconds to acquire a wireless signal and get networking configured. During this time, /etc/resolv.conf is not present. If slimserver starts during this time, it cannot find a working DNS server. After a few seconds, DNS lookups work fine for other applications, but slimserver cannot resolve URLs unless it is restarted.
The workarounds suggested by ringerrr are really helpful, but not ideal. Can anyone suggest a way of delaying slimserver booting, or getting slimserver to refresh its choice of nameserver when it fails to resolve a name? (Or failing that, enabling a local nameserver so that lookup requests to localhost will succeed. Or even a way to restart slimserver remotely?) Many thanks...
