Hello Ed,
Un-persistent and inconsistent problem is surely very hard to solve.
We need to localize the problem first. From your explanation, it seems that it 
only happens with your Ubuntu, XP is ok.

Can you copy paste the content of your /etc/resolv.conf here?
Also is there any local daemon running on your ubuntu related to dns/name 
resolution?
