But in the absence of an actual internal dns/dhcp server ( only firewall pc emulating same (smoothwall version)) because www modem is turned off will it still not time out as well with each attempt to connect with nautilus, dolphin or file manager etc?

Even if I remove gateway addresses from the dns lists on the eth interfaces properties the dns client s/w won't get any response it normally sees anyway unless there is an internal LAN dns server that can work independently on it's own when the www modem is shut down. Is this not the case?

I guess what I am in need of is info to set up pvt lan as a scaled down intranet so that when the www connection is dropped all internal services will function normally

  Everything is not hung, but is waiting for a DNS time-out.
