Two things to check:

	First, ensure that your host is configured in "standalong
mode" in the SimpleNetworkStarter application so its not trying to
find a parent netinfo domain server.

	Second, check to see if you have an /etc/resolv.conf set up;
it may be that a program that's invoked when you log in is attempting
a DNS query to a server on the other end of the SLIP link.
