Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE

[E. Eusey]

I'm curious to see if you've had any success with the solutions offered so 
far.  I'm having similar issues with Firefox 0.8 in KDE 3.2 on 5.2.1: the 
browser hangs at random times when attempting to resolve hostnames.  I 
thought it was some weird reverse-dns issue, or maybe something to do with 
the fact that I'm forced to use an unofficial driver for my NForce2 NIC 
(net/nvnet -- http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/).  But then, like you 
wrote, Lynx works just fine.  I've tried ifconfig the media type with no 
success.  (Anyone?)
