    Hi Wim
    Yes, basic network functionality is all fine - I am using theis machine for
    several months now. DNS is fine under most circumstances, can ping most
    histnames - it is just applications like ftp, telnet, ssh that don't seem to
    able to make DNS.

    Thanks for the help

    Daniel
