Networking :: DNS does not work

I'm using DSL with QEMU on a stick (I purchased this from Lizard Biscuit).

DNS seems to work intermittently. Sometimes names will get resolved, sometimes they won't. Lately, they haven't been. (One problem which I fixed was that installing Microsoft's Loopback adapter breaks everything. I uninstalled that.)

I am able to create TCP connections if I use the IP address directly -- ssh works. I am also able to telnet to the LAN's DNS nameserver to port 53 (DNS service). Nevertheless, nslookup does not work.

Is there a way to diagnose this problem? Maybe a way to turn on network-establishment exchange in QEMU?

Thanks.

P.S. Most annoyingly, this breaks trying to update DSL packages because things are accessed via fully-specified domain name.

What's listed in /etc/resolv.conf ? Is it correct?

Well, it's what I would expect

Quote

search (null)
nameserver 10.0.2.3

BTW,

Code Sample

telnet 10.0.2.3 53

[correctly] establishes a session.

Are you using a bat file and thus running in the Qemu virtual machine?

Correct. In particular, I'm running "dsl-vhd.bat" which came with the USB stick.
