The BigLig Thinks

I'm not referring to my continued inability to get dual-head working - despite that being a right pain.
No, I'm referring to the fact that my Ethernet connection keeps having DNS troubles, not getting the right DNS from the DHCP server or something. It also is hopeless at dealing with me being in the office and wired sometimes, and at home and wireless the rest of the time.
This is not good - it's easily fixed by me futzing about with the network configuration - but I don't have time for that. I'm being very patient, I know that it's not going to be like XP where everything just works, but I can't have my network buggered up all the time.
