I had a worrying episode this afternoon when my ARMX6 repeatedly failed
to connect to the router after rebooting - Newshound couldn't resolve
the newsserver hostname, AntiSpam timed out on its mailboxes, NetSurf
told me it could only access local files because no domain server was
available.  Eventually on the third or fourth attempt, after powering
down the computer and leaving it for a while but without changing
anything else, I was able to get it to start up correctly.

Is this something I should be worried about?   Is there anything I can
do about it if so?

(The whole reason why I was rebooting in the first place was because
Messenger Pro crashed twice in a row when I was attempting to start a
reply to an e-mail I'd received a couple of days ago, so I thought some
other piece of software might have been overwriting the memory
somewhere - that shouldn't be persistent over a restart, though.  And if
a file in !Boot had got corrupted, that wouldn't have fixed itself
without my intervention.)
