I misdiagnosed the problem. My wife's computer (blossom) is running RH9 and she gets faster DNS resolution than baby does. Our ISP assigns all addresses (including DNS) via DHCP. Her /etc/resolv.conf file was being updated by her dhcp client. I emerged dhcpcd and ran it. The problem came from bullet expecting baby to be at 192.168.1.3 It wasn't. dhcpcd had reset baby's IP address to one supplied by the router instead of baby's static address. Is there a way to set baby to get only DNS information from the router via DHCP (the router is set to obtain this information automatically from the ISP) and not to reset baby's IP address?
