Check config.c and set nameserver_is_slow to YES.
If you have DNS enabled under control panel/networks/tcpip/properties then
you should disable it and move the DNS entry to your dialup networking entry
for the ISP to help windows figure out that there's no DNS server to query
when
you aren't connected.
Also make sure you have an entry for localhost in your hosts file in
c:\windows.
Copy the hosts.sam to hosts if you don't have a hosts file. localhost should
be
127.0.0.1
