Startup wireshark... find out what those "non-network" apps are doing on the network.
What's your /etc/hosts file look like?

I lost my internet connection earlier today.
My home network was still up - it's just the router couldn't get an IP
from the cable modem.
During that period, my CentOS 5.1 install was extremely slow (2.6 GHz
Athlon w/ 2GB ram) at starting non network applications - such as
solitare and gnome terminal. It would pause for several seconds before
finally starting them.
The machine does run bind as a caching nameserver - as I've found that
to be more reliable than using my ISPs nameserver, so I'm guessing the
slowdown was with bind not being able to resolve anything.
Is there anything I can do to prevent the slow application launching in
the event of lost network in the future?
