Hahah, hey guys, shows how long since I used a mailing list, I totally
forgot to change the reply-to address and had a few replies straight
into Lee's mailbox, d'oh :)

Turns out it *was* just that the NIC was on eth1, feel really
schoolboy for not just trying that, indeed, I think I've had the same
hiccough previously when I've installed on this machine.

Now, does anyone know how to stop the system from trying to DNS
through IPv6, cos that's the only issue I have remaining :)

Cheers!
