Hi Michael
I don't use wwwoffle anymore, but I remember something similar when on
dial-up. I was using kppp at the time, which dynamically added/removed
entries to /etc/resolv.conf. The wwwoffle daemon needed the dns resolver
addresses when it started up, and as this was at bootup before going
on-line, it didn't pick the proper addresses once they were there. The
solution was to restart wwwoffled *after* going on-line (a pain) or add the
ISP DNS server addresses to /etc/resolv.conf permanently, so wwwoffled
could read them in when it started.
Of course this might be completely unrelated to your problem, in which case
sorry ;)
Regards, Martin
