New DHCP router some debian software not working
Hi,
I have just changed over from a static ip (debian sarge) to a DHCP system served by a ADDON broadband modem/firwall/router.
Under the static ip system everything worked fine.
Under the DHCP system most software was very slow to initialise. I believed this to be a reverse lookup problem as dnsdomainname was also VERY slow (30sec) to return empty string. So I have changed a few things and terminal and firefox init fast and surf quickly (this is good :P ) however xchat wont connect to a server and evolution just wont send/receive (sits unmoving on the send/receive box) albeit very rarely (once in two days) its works fine for about 10secs. I can play online poker so I know that the ports are open. I have a winXP laptop and when I setup a MS outlook account using the values from the debian box and it could access the account fine but it was very slow to initialise itself. And Xchat also works fine on the laptop, so I rule out the new DHCP modem/router/firewall as the problem. So I am rather stumpted, I have been searching google for any hint of a reason but am no longer sure what I should be looking for. Can someone give me a hand please, I bet its something stupid but I am going round in circles!
I have copied data from relevant files below.
Cheers in advance
