OK Thanks Gustavo - I always feel bad asking questions that are only tangentially related to the enlightenment world, and really appreciate the help and advice. I'll try disabling ipv6 in the kernel and see if that helps. I'll have to try it with another wired connection, it doesn't happen with any wifi networks I connect to, so it may be the dhcp server here on campus. But, it might be a connman issue because it doesn't happen when i just use the network interfaces file with ifupdown. Anyway, its really only an annoyance because sudo complains it 'can't resolve host' but I just put another line in the /etc/hosts that has the _1 variant of the host name and now sudo is happy.
