Im so relieved it wasnt just me, because my computer has been weirding out on me and im never sure...MonkeyBug, im having the exact same problem as you, dumb DNS errors...
Same but my VMKPal is showing up an error message too. Not the normal one like vmk may be closed a complete different one. Maybe VMK has found a way to block VMKPal completly?
im getting bsod too..usually when you wait for bsod to go away for a couple minutes it logs on...but ive been waiting for over 5 minutes and still nothing...arg
