A-ha! Thanks...that worked great. Here's the output (which again looks
fine now since stopping and restarting SlimServer):

2006-08-13 09:45:51.4384 AsyncHTTP: Verifying if we can use nameserver
212.42.1.68...
2006-08-13 09:45:51.4385   Testing lookup of www.google.com
2006-08-13 09:45:51.4767   Lookup successful, using 212.42.1.68 for DNS
lookups

...all of which implies to me it's still something to do with rebooting
the Mac (something I rarely have to do) and SlimServer starting up
automatically before the resolv.conf file had been correctly populated.
Based on the contents of this thread, I think the resolution is to
either:

1) start SlimServer manually (rather than automatically) from System
Preferences once the OS is fully up, or,
2) make a static copy of the current, valid resolv.conf file (assuming
that those settings are unlikely to change) in my ~ directory (called
.resolv.conf)

Thanks very much once again Andy for your help - you've been
incredible.

Regards,

Huw
