I don't know what else to suggest. I tried it here and it worked on my 
copy. You should take a look at the contents for the dnscache file after 
running Analog, maybe there will be a clue there. There should be lines 
that look something like:

15942346 200.16.186.186 *
15942346 204.134.208.41 cw-cache1.micron.net

The first number is the date of the lookup. Normaly they increase as you 
move through the file. They should be around the number in my example, 
matching at least the first three digits, if they are way different then 
something is wrong.

I suspect something having to do with your clock failing triggered this, 
but I can't see how that could happen given the steps you took.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
