I have two primary machines, one runs Windows XP for things that don't

Athlon XP 1700).
I have already tried tweaking hosts and resolv.conf, dig suggested the 
computer was not resolving from the preferred server so commenting out 
the backup servers sped performance a little, I also added every 
common alias of the computer to the hosts entry for 127.0.0.1 as 
suggested in a thread I found in the Mandrake Club.

This is a long shot. What does the 'hosts' line in /etc/nsswitch.conf 
look like? Here's mine:
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files dns
