You don't give much insight on your setup (dsl, cable, dialup, ...), configuration items you changed (dnscache, tinydns, shorewall, ...) so I can only guess. When dnscache fails things like ntpdate and ez- ipupdate don't work anymore because they can't resolv the hostnames anymore, so that is expected. The question is why dnscache suddenly dies. You can do some trouble shooting by looking at the output of "shorewall hits": are there local ports that get blocked which shouldn't. The output of "df" and "free": aren't there any memory problems. With ps you can see if the dnscache daemon is still running at the time you have problems. And ofcourse by looking at the various files in /var/log.
