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

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.
