Sygayte not resoving domain names (internittent)

I am using Sygate HN 4.5 (build 851) to connect 3 computers to the internet via a dedicated gateway server connected to the internet through a dial-up modem. Sygate server is installed on the server, and Client mode on the other 3 computers. All using Win98

Lately, and on an intermittent basis, I am gettting "[domain] not found" errors when accessing from one of the clients. Rebooting the server and dialing in again frequently solves the problem. Sometimes the problem can be solved by having the server's browser connect to the same domain that was denied to the client. In a minute or two, the server sometimes then accepts the request for the domain from the client.

Some domains I visit frequently (my own) seem to have this problem more frequently, while other domains are never rejected. One domain in particular suffers the most.

It is not a connectivity problem, as replacing the domain name with a numeric IP address on the client results in an immediate connection to the domain in question.

I am not using DHCP, all machines have unique addresses. "Enable address server (DHCP)" is NOT checked in configuration. Enable DNS forwarding IS checked. I have no access rules in place.

The problem began a while ago, and seems to be increasing in frequency, and increasing in its unwillingness to go away when one of the above solutions is attempted.

I am running Win98SE on all machines. connections are through a D-Link DSS-8+ Fast Ethernet Switch. Modem is a USR Sportster 56k. The onset of the problem was not coincident with any change in hardware or software.

I am at a loss as to where to proceed. Your help with this annoying problem will be greatly appreciated.
